She cautioned against any complacency in complying with the mandatory precautionary measures, urging people to avoid gatherings which cause the spread of the virus and lead to a surge in infections, including asymptomatic cases.

In the event that any symptoms of Coronavirus (Covid-19) appear, Dr. Al Dhawadi urged the public to contact the National Call Centre 444, stressing the need to adhere to all given instructions.
