muzzle in the stadiums.. leniency is dangerous
Family Medicine and Allergy Consultant, Dr. Khaled bin Obaid Bawaked, called on sports fans who watch matches from stadiums to wear the muzzle, as it was noticed that a very large group estimated at 70% do not commit to wearing the muzzle in stadiums or wear it incorrectly, such as covering the mouth only without the nose, and this A very dangerous and risky indicator, especially in light of the presence of new mutants of the fierce Corona virus.
And “Bawaked” added: “It is medically known that viruses mutate all the time and change permanently, and this leads to the emergence of new strains of them, and most of these mutations are large and substantial, and some of them may make the virus less dangerous, but other mutations may make it more contagious and more resistant, so it is recommended All members of the communities take vaccinations and preventive immunization so that everyone acquires the necessary immunity.
Bawaked said: The sports stadiums, although they are an open field, are not considered places where it is permissible not to wear the muzzle, for several considerations Including the lack of physical distancing, the gathering of thousands of fans in one location and place, the ease of touching surfaces in abundance, and the ease of transmission of mouth spray from individuals when chanting sports chants or exchanging conversations, so applying all precautionary measures, the most important of which is wearing a mask, physical spacing and constantly sterilizing hands, would prevent The presence of any gaps for the annoying virus.
He pointed out that the seriousness of Covid-19 still exists, so far, the world is still facing the problem of its spread and its presence in an active state, which resulted in the emergence of new strains and mutagens, including "Omicron", which was characterized by the speed of spread, and the mystery still surrounds this mutant. So far, as the World Health Organization has indicated that scientists need more time to reveal the secrets of this mutagen, which differs from the previous ones (Delta, Alpha and Beta), so wearing a muzzle is very important, whether in closed places or gatherings away from laxity and indulgence, The muzzle enhances protection along with other precautionary measures.
Bawaked advised everyone to make sure to complete the vaccinations and the booster dose Because it enhances the work of the immune system against viruses and their mutations, and the need to take care of healthy nutrition, exercise, including walking, give the body enough sleep and rest, drink water and fresh juices, reduce caffeine drinks, stop smoking for good, avoid bad news and pay attention to positive news. With the need to continue to apply all precautionary measures, including wearing a mask, and distancing in places where the status of immunization is not verified.
