Al-Tarawneh, the consultant of chest, respiratory and critical care diseases, held Dr. Muhammad Hassan Al-Tarawneh responsible for the fourth wave and the deterioration of the health situation to the government of Bishr Al-Khasawneh after allowing gatherings in the Boulevard and New Year’s parties, which led to the spread of the virus quickly, especially in the absence of oversight and accountability.

Tarawneh said in a press statement today, Thursday, that managing the health file in a political manner by people who have nothing to do with Corona and not listening to scientific opinions, has exacerbated the epidemiological situation and disrupted political life through the inability of Parliament to convene as well as the Council of Ministers, and we fear the disruption of health, economic and health facilities. If the fourth wave continues

Al-Tarawneh expected that the fourth wave will extend until the holy month of Ramadan, due to the presence of a characteristic of the omicron, BA2 and BA3 mutant infecting people who were previously infected and who received the vaccine.

Al-Tarawneh indicated that the peak of the current wave may be long due to the rapid spread of the omicron and the resulting mutant, and the number of infections may exceed 20,000, and the percentage of positive tests may reach 30%, noting that the entries have reached 1,000 cases, according to the Ministry of Health figures, and the active cases have risen to 100 thousand means that we are in a real crisis.

Al-Tarawneh called for the protection of health cadres to be able to provide the service by activating the monitoring and control centers and leaving the Corona file to the National Center for Epidemics and providing scientific opinion on the political decision, noting that riding a wave upon a wave exhausted the health sector.
