During its meeting with the High Council of State, the scientific advisory committee for combating the Coronavirus pandemic claimed that it is in the process of issuing a protocol on how to deal with late-stage Covid-19 patients, noting that a sub-committee specialized in this field will be formed very soon.

The committee has called on the High Council of State to urgently help facilitate some necessary procedures that would help tackle the Coronavirus outbreak. It also called for facilitating the importing of medical supplies and equipment and granting permission for payment of salaries to new doctors, noting that more than 16,000 new doctors are providing medical services on a daily basis, without remuneration.
