Vast Difference In Infection Between Now And Then Dr Al-jarallah

The head of the Supreme Advisory Committee to confront Corona, Dr. Khaled Al-Jarallah, said although “the rate of infection is high, and there is sharp escalation in the curve of infections with the mutated virus ‘Omicron’ he reassured that “most of the infections now are showing symptoms of the upper respiratory system, its severity according to immunity and immunization, and recovery for all cases is inside the homes.”

The health sources told Al-Rai the peak of the deterioration of the epidemiological situation in Kuwait was last July when 1,993 cases of infection were recorded unlike now, but the difference between then and now is that the number of people in intensive care at that time was 310, 1,150 in wards, and 20 daily deaths, and the number of active cases was then 18,600 against 8,088 yesterday.

However, the sources stressed on the importance of adhering to health protocols, social distancing, and the initiative to receive the (third) dose of the anti-virus vaccine and said the stage of panic and fear has become a thing of the past, and what is required today is to raise the level of caution to continue maintaining the stability of the level of the epidemiological index and not deteriorating it.

Dr Al-Jarallah stressed that “avoiding gatherings, adhering to preventive measures, receiving vaccination doses, and home isolation when symptoms are felt, and adherence to health directives will support control efforts and accelerate the recovery stage.”
