Key to safe public health
Booster shots are among the key factors that protect public health and ensure public safety, playing a key role in strengthening collective immunity, she added.
“We urge eligible individuals to take booster shots to protect themselves, especially elderly people and those with chronic diseases, to support the national efforts to contain the pandemic and the variants,” Dr. Al Ghaithi affirmed.
The UAE’s health sector, in coordination with all relevant authorities, is closely monitoring all developments to ensure the community’s safety, she explained. Taking the vaccine does not exempt anyone from complying with relevant precautionary measures, such as wearing face masks, sanitising and respecting social distancing, she continued.
She also urged members of the community to continue taking regular Covid-19 PCR tests, especially before family visits and meeting elderly people, and refrain from handshaking and other forms of physical greetings. The country has adopted a clear and transparent approach to addressing Covid-19 by announcing updates on national media outlets and the official social media platforms of relevant authorities.
She then encouraged members of the community to rely on official sources for information on the pandemic, to avoid rumours and false news.
At the end of the media briefing, Dr. Al Ghaithi highlighted the importance of social responsibility and the key role of community members in maintaining the country’s achievements during the crisis by following guidelines and preventive measures.
