The contradiction between the statements of the ministry and the reality experienced by hospitals, through a statement in the hospital responsible King Abdul Aziz University, which confirmed that the numbers are larger than the ministry declared.

Must declare that the Ministry of Health and the reality of the situation in a transparent manner indisputable. Must declare the names of the deceased and cities where people were injured and the number and causes, without any compliments or attempts to cover any error or information of interest to the citizen.

The ministry is also obliged to distribute the means of prevention, Valoguenah must be distributed, and required people to use in gathering places, both work sites, schools or markets, napkins and means of sterilization should be distributed to families, and demanding business destinations provided at entrances and outside toilets.

Educate school students, and work tests, and down sampling, basic. In addition to training the largest number of teachers and safety officials on the means of protection and prevention by the staff of the ministry.
