Thirty-one were hospitalised during the past 24 hours, taking the total number of inpatients in hospitals to 217, including 77 in Intensive Care Units (ICUs).

His Excellency Dr Ahmed bin Mohammed al Saeedi, Minister of Health, called on citizens, residents, and workers in the health sector to demand vaccination and the availability of vaccines.

The Minister of Health said that by the end of April, the vaccine will be provided in the private sector for those who wish to receive the vaccination.
