        He pointed out that the cases which you must wear a mask are visits or revisions in emergency or intensive care and a guarantee not to acquire any infection, and especially that he does not know the nature of the diseases suffered by the auditors, and thus wear the mask is a necessity in these sections.
        Dr. Amir concluded that there is a scientific foundation in dealing with cases of infectious diseases through isolated in isolation rooms, and the staff therapist applies all medical standards, which avoided any exposure to a viral infection.

However, it has been associated with this time Bulgt and lack of clarity in the official bodies dealing with what is going on in the media. I was talking with a colleague mentioned that he attended a funeral for the two sons of his friend, "it was said," They died of injuries following a deadly virus.

                  Two days later, I watched the Ministry of Health staff on a tour of the streets of a city official car, and everyone was wearing masks.

                  Only a day later spread to the speech prompt networking sites from the Department of Health in one of the provinces to the Director General of Health Affairs in Riyadh, recognizing the potential lack of charge, and the inability of his machine on the implementation of procedures to control the spread of the virus within the limits of his province.

                  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.

                  Awareness posters must be posted, and the use of outdoor advertising boards to identify and warn, because the situation calls for do-out war, in which everyone
