The relevant authorities in our country have resumed tightening precautionary measures, including banning gatherings, eating in restaurants and cafes, and preventing human gatherings exceeding the virtual limit.
Everyone had started months ago to lift the curfew and resume economic activities after everyone went through periods of mandatory lockdown as a result of the virus outbreak in order to preserve human safety. We saw great disregard from some commercial sites and entities in applying precautions to prevent the virus, which has not ended yet, and its numbers have started to rise again in light of the human’s failure to comply with the axioms of preventing the spread of infection, and the lack of commitment of many to home isolation, while wedding halls resumed activities amid clear ignorance of their visitors after adhering to the necessary procedures, which prompted the competent authorities to impose many decisions that may increase and become stricter in the coming days. The Minister of Health had repeatedly called on everyone to be careful and cautious, followed by many warnings that took up attention during the lockdown and a few days after it, then many of those who were negligent in attending meetings and not adhering to wearing protective masks or placing safe distances between them and others soon forgot, and many sectors and even families neglected to follow the precautionary measures against the virus by using disinfectants and staying away from gathering sites, as well as washing hands, and being keen to implement all that was directed in order to reduce the number of people infected with the virus, and reach recording the lowest cases until we reach the number zero, but the failure to follow preventive measures contributed to the rise in numbers in light of the continued human ignorance of all instructions.
The Corona virus poses a risk, and if a person is infected with it – God forbid – he must undergo home isolation or isolation in the sites prepared by the state – may God protect it – for all Saudis and residents on its land and even abroad, and whoever has weak immunity and is exposed to complications; the state has provided treatment that costs millions of riyals for cases that have recovered from the virus thanks to God, then thanks to the distinguished treatment plans provided by the state, and spends a lot and a lot on it.
Therefore, every family must recalculate its accounts; the virus cost the state huge budgets, and the state stood a great stand in order to help the owners of establishments and those affected, and provided all the facilities; therefore, the virus has risks that must be managed, whether from families or from various sectors, whether economic sectors or government agencies or workplaces of all kinds, in addition to imposing fines and severe penalties for every negligent person, especially since we have experienced the presence of the virus and its activity in different times and different stages, and negligence and ignorance were the two main reasons for its spread; therefore, it is time for risk management that must be implemented individually and collectively in order to preserve the safety and health of all.
