Criticism of pandemic management normal, says Minister of Health
Muscat: The management of the pandemic in the Sultanate has received great criticism, and this is normal, His Excellency Minister of Health said on Thursday.
The Minister of Health, His Excellency Dr. Ahmed Al Saeedi, during the annual ceremony of Al Sharqia University said: "We publish our information with all transparency and credibility, and this causes us some problems in the comparisons, but we will not give up on transparency, there are countries that have thousands of numbers and announce hundreds, and other countries have very high deaths that are not announced.”
His Excellency confirmed during Al Sharqia University’s celebration of its annual day that the Supreme Committee always studies all aspects that the virus affects before making any decision.
“In mid-October, the numbers began to decline, before mid-January we had only 20 patients in intensive care, and after that, the numbers began to increase. There are no indications of the end of the pandemic,” he confirmed.
