In the midst of the unprecedented spike in cases in our country due to the Omicron variant, the Ministry of Health informs citizens that on a daily basis the data are evaluated and any problems that arise at sampling points or vaccination centres are recorded and the competent services of the Ministry of Health are taking appropriate action to better serve citizens. More than 100 thousand tests are carried out every day, an extremely high number in proportion to the population, in order to stop the spread of the virus in the community. The Ministry of Health has already proceeded to increase the number of sampling points, as well as staffing the points in all provinces, and the people staffing these points are making superhuman efforts to provide better and proper service to citizens. Therefore, the Ministry of Health appeals to the citizens to show patience and cooperation.
