(MENAFN - Gulf Times) The arrival of Covid-19 vaccines is giving the world hope of ending the pandemic, but many countries remain consumed by the virus s spread.

Beyond material constraints, however, lie others related to information and trust. Some may be unaware of public-health guidelines or may not understand the specific steps to follow. Misinformation about Covid-19 can undermine the recommended measures. And in some contexts, lack of confidence in the health system itself may reduce adherence to guidelines.
