Muscat: The Sultanate is witnessing an alarming rise in coronavirus cases.

Dr. Faryal Al-Lawati, Senior Consultant of Infectious Diseases and Head of the Infectious Diseases Unit at the Royal Hospital, confirmed in a statement to the Oman News Agency :"One of the reasons for the high incidence of Covid 19 in the Sultanate is the failure to apply precautionary measures such as wearing a mask in the correct way and sterilizing the hands.

Also gatherings at social events and shopping centers and the lack of commitment of some travellers in following procedures of domestic or institutional isolation which has led to the rise in cases.”
