Report – Maha Salahuddin:
The rate of increase in weekly injuries from Corona in the Arab world decreased by 6% last week, and the total number of injuries reached 258,000 million, including 2,707 severe cases in 13 countries; Nine Arab countries have not reported serious injuries, while the death rate has risen steadily, especially in countries that have not reported the number of critical and dangerous cases.
Dangerous or critical cases as defined by the World Health Organization are cases that suffer from complications that cause one or some of the body’s systems to lose the ability to perform their vital activities – such as breathing – and require urgent external intervention.
Through maps and data, we take stock of the situation of dangerous or critical cases in the Arab world; By analyzing the official figures and data, let us know the number of such cases in the Arab world, and their percentage of total injured, active, as well as which Arab countries reported them or ignored them.
Most official data – released by the health ministries of 22 Arab countries – does not include realistic statistics on the total number of critical and dangerous cases, but these data include confirmed cases that have been laboratory proven and whose health has deteriorated due to infection with “Covid 19”.
These official confirmed cases were cited by the American Johns Hopkins University and the World Meter International website, where the two international platforms have assigned an indicator to monitor dangerous cases, within the database that each of them has created to collect data on the Corona virus from all countries of the world since the outbreak of the global epidemic last March.
The Arab world has recorded 64,790 new cases of coronavirus in the past week and 1,421 people have died.
Of the one and a quarter million cases of coronavirus in the Arab world, 189,782 are still active, and 2,707 are critical cases in 13 countries – out of 22 Arab countries, 0.2% of the total number of infections and 1.4% of the total number of active cases.
Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Oman, Kuwait, Lebanon, Qatar, Egypt, Morocco, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Mauritania and Jordan have announced the number of critical cases, while that the Emirates, Palestine, Sudan, Libya, Djibouti, Somalia, Syria, Yemen and the Comoros have not announced them.
It is remarkable that there are three countries that have recorded the highest death rate out of the total number of injured among the nine that have not announced the number of critical cases, leading Yemen, where a third of his injured died, and recorded the highest death rate. in the Arab world on the total number of injuries he suffered.
Sudan, where 6.3% of its wounded have died, is ranked second in the Arab world, and Syria is in third place, where more than 4% of its wounded have died so far.
And there are 3 countries among the countries which have not announced the number of critical cases, among the list of countries which have not announced the number of PCR tests to detect “Corona” infection, namely: Somalia, Syria and the Comoros, but it is not a decisive rule, for the United Arab Emirates – for example – No critical cases have been recorded, because it has a death rate of less than 1%, and it is the country with the most PCR tests performed in the Arab world, as it has conducted nearly 7 million tests.
** Note: N / A is indicated for the country without critical case, which means Unknown.
Saudi Arabia tops the Arab critical cases index with 1,576 cases, with the Kingdom also topping the Arab injury list with more than 300,000 cases.
Iraq comes second in the critical cases index with 582 cases, and occupies the same position in the total number of injured with more than 200,000 injured.
The Sultanate of Oman ranks third, with 153 critical cases, and fifth, with a total number of more than 85,000 injured.
Egypt occupies the middle of the index, with 41 critical cases, while Jordan and Mauritania are at the bottom of the index with only three critical cases.
According to these figures, Saudi Arabia recorded 58% of critical cases in the Arab world, followed by Iraq with 21.5% and Egypt recorded 1.5%.
