The Ministry of Health had issued a circular to stop non-emergency and non-urgent surgeries in public hospitals on February 14, 2021, before resuming at a later time.

Regarding the number of third dose recipients of anti-Covid 19 vaccines, the sources indicated the number has exceed 720,000 citizens and residents, in addition to 3,252,071 people who received the two doses, at a rate of 82.92% of the total population eligible for vaccinations, and stressed on the need to initiate the booster dose to reduce the rates of infected cases that require admission to public hospitals.
