«The Council stresses - the Council of Ministers - on the media to adhere to all of the issued instructions not to publish any news concerning this virus or any epidemic disease only through the approved official at the Ministry of Health.»
I hesitated to write about a lot in the above decision, because I'm not ready for a foul system or formal instruction from the highest executive authority / the highest government authority, and avoid embarrassing media organization write. But that does not mean that we address the decision of which is reproduced above, and not Corona.
I did not understand what it means to prevent from writing about issues of vital health issues such as diseases only by what comes out of the Ministry of Health? Will this behavior is used by the rest of the ministries that disturb her media criticism? Do you seek the Ministry of Health to prevent the media from talking about the epidemic diseases, including Corona caused concern or criticism of its commitment to the citizen?
Did not get used to such an approach is much more difficult in cases such as Rift Valley fever, and SARS and swine flu and other diseases and epidemics, why it happened now?
I repeat: will abide by not writing about Corona itself, will not contribute to broadcast rumors about the number of cases or about the relationship or about camels Pkorona Research and the Ministry of Health, which bear the names of the officials. But I will be a clear statement that the case looks like a Corona exceed disease. The issue is the loss of trust and credibility. If found confidence in the statements of the Ministry of Health data of what people have resorted to other sources, some accurate and some not so.
From here, the question we must ask; why shaken people's confidence Buserh health? Why back down in front of the credibility of the health of citizens? If the statements and news about health ministry source of confidence for the citizen, it will not resort to the other, but obviously they recognize through this decision that it failed to convince the people no longer trust the people with tell him and thus they resort to other sources.
Health trouble in confidence by the people and not in a bind her anti-media, media is a mirror of the eye and the citizens. But I can assure that the media served as Health and flatter than any other service sector. TV covers all occasions Health detail and newspaper editors attending their events and host health officials and grant them the entire space to express their opinion, and rejoice in any book unfinished health, Will was another sector such?
Ministry of Health sought to limit talk about the disease in the Ministry of Health we are concerned in terms of being that might offend the freedom of the media to get information Boutrgah different, which may not be consistent with the sources of the Ministry of Health.
I respect the decision of the Council of Ministers, and I know his commitment to the citizens, and his interest in the information which it had received valid, but the Ministry of Health to ensure the authenticity of the information you want to communicate to the citizens through various media, The decision of the Council of Ministers necessary so but did not mention it.
