News 24 | Omani Minister of Health: Most cases of Corona in the Sultanate are due to the “delta” strain, which spreads quickly and affects all ages

Today (Tuesday) Omani Minister of Health Dr Ahmed bin Muhammad Al-Saidi confirmed that most cases of coronavirus infection in the Sultanate are due to the rapidly spreading ‘delta’ strain, indicating that it affects all ages, and is more severe than its predecessors.

He explained that the number of patients who have been admitted to intensive care directly from their homes in the past few days is very high, stressing that this indicates the severity and ferocity of this disease.

He stressed that the Sultanate only allows the entry of any medical product after ensuring its safety first and then its effectiveness, adding that the delay in attracting the vaccine is not for financial reasons, nor for the failure of the government to obtain the vaccine, but rather for reasons of scarcity in the world.
