JEDDAH: Saudi health
officials declared victory over the coronavirus on Sunday and said COVID-19 was
under control.
The Kingdom recorded only
139 new cases of infection, the first time the figure has been under 150 since
the pandemic began to take hold in March.
The Ministry of Health’s
weekly confirmed COVID-19 case map shows that almost all of the Kingdom’s
regions are in the “safe zone,” recording numbers below 50 throughout the past
week and more.
“We’re among the countries with noticeable control and decrease in cases,” ministry spokesman Dr. Mohammed Al-Abd Al-Aly said during a press conference.
“The Kingdom now has more
control over the pandemic. This achievement is due to the community’s adherence
to the measures put in place. It wouldn’t have been possible without
coordination between the community and relevant authorities in the face of this
pandemic to ensure everyone’s health and safety,” he said.
