Hossam Abdel Ghaffar, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health and Population, confirmed that the data received from New York, Boston and Chicago indicate that the vast majority of Omicron patients who need intensive care are not vaccinated with the Corona virus vaccine or who suffer from severe weakness in the immune system. They experienced mild symptoms of the new mutant.
He stressed that, according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization issued on May 27, 2020, the disappearance of symptoms after 10 days of infection is an indication of the patient’s recovery from the Corona virus.
The Ministry of Health and Population continues to raise its preparations in all governorates of the Republic, follow up on the situation first-hand regarding the “emerging corona virus”, and take all necessary preventive measures against any viruses or infectious diseases, and the ministry has allocated a number of means of communication to receive citizens’ inquiries about the emerging corona virus and infectious diseases. Including the hotline “105”, “15335” and the WhatsApp number “01553105105”, in addition to the “Health Egypt” application available on phones.
