The Ministry of Municipality and Environment or MME, removed around 124 tons of waste in one day from the country’s northern beaches during the Eid break.
And the MME has announced that is considering banning barbecues on all beaches in the country, due to the mess left behind by people when they leave.
Hammad Medical Corporation are to continue operating their Urgent Consultation Service, even though COVID cases have significantly dropped.
The service is intended to reduce the number of people attending hospital facilities unless it’s absolutely necessary. Operating from 7am until 10pm, 7 days a week. You simply dial one six triple zero and speak to a triage doctor. Who will then connect you to one of the 13 specialty departments that will try and assist you remotely, reducing your time, effort and risk. And should medication be required, prescriptions can be delivered directly to your home.
Now here’s a quick COVID update
Active cases drop by 36 to 3,107 in the last 24 hour period.
And the 7 day average of new infections is currently running at 7.22% of those tested.
That’s all for today, please take care, and I’ll see you tomorrow.
