The Minister of Public Health H E Dr. Hanan Mohammed Al Kuwari has urged public to stay at home and go out only for essential things to help curb the spread of COVID-19, yesterday.
A post on Ministry of Public Health’s twitter handle and Hamad Medical Corporation’s Facebook account, featured the H E the Minister holding a post reading messages urging public to stay at home. It said, ‘I Stay at Work for You, You Stay at Home for Us’ both in English and Arabic.
H E the Minister is asking members of the public to please stay at home to help protect more vulnerable members of our population and to go out only for essential things.
The Minster has joined the trending social media campaign by frontline healthcare workers from around the globe, asking the public to help to curb the spread of the COVID-19 by limiting their social interactions.
‘We work for you, please stay at home for us,’ campaign started by healthcare practitioners across the world, with the main objective of self-isolation to ‘flatten the curve’ of the COVID-19 so as to not overwhelm the already stretched healthcare facilities.
Joining this effort on March 20, a group of healthcare leaders in Qatar including Dr. Yousef Al Maslamani, Medical Director at Hamad General Hospital had joined the global, ‘Stay home, save lives’ campaign encouraging the public to help to curb the spread of the COVID-19 by limiting their social interactions. The social media campaign by Ministry has published a series of photographs of healthcare practitioners and others at the forefront of the COVID-19 fight in the country. The photos, posted on social media featured healthcare practitioners holding a sheet of paper that read messages urging the public to stay at home.
“We are at work for you. Please stay home for us,” the posters reads in different languages English, Arabic and others. As the number of COVID-19 cases continue to grow, one of the best courses of action is self-isolation to slow the spread of the virus. And this is something that nurses and doctors have recommended people to do through the #StayHome campaign, and hope citizens are following their calls for help.
