By: Times News Service Representative image / shutterstock Muscat: The occupancy rate at field hospitals for Covid-19 patients is currently 95 per cent and the rate is 100 per cent in High Dependency Units (HDU), where there are critical cases suffering from respiratory failure, Director of the Field Hospital for Covid-19 Patients, Dr. Nabil Al Lawati said in an interview with Oman TV. Dr Zakaria bin Yahya Al Balushi, an infectious disease consultant at Royal hospital said: 64 per cent of the patients currently in intensive care at the Royal Hospital are under the age of 60, and this may be due to the fact that the national campaign for immunisation against Covid-19 targeted the elderly in the first phase.

Don t listen to rumours on vaccines: Oman s Ministry of Health tells people

By: Times News Service A big challenge to combating coronavirus is anti-vaccination campaigns on social media, as for some people a video clip can have more credibility than the word of officials and experts. Muscat: The reluctance of some people to receive the COVID-19 vaccine is due to their conviction in the conspiracy theory, and the decision to close commercial activities will contribute to limiting the spread of virus strains, an official from the Ministry of Health stated. Dr Faryal Al Lawati, a consultant of infectious diseases at the Royal Hospital, said, “The latest clinical research conducted in Britain on the AstraZeneca vaccine proved its effectiveness by 90 per cent, and the reason for some people’s reluctance to take vaccinations is because some of them have a conspiracy theory or as a result of a comparison between one vaccine and another or between the countries that produce the vaccine.”
