DUBAI: Saudi Arabia’s minister of health warned on Sunday of a second COVID-19 wave that could lead to a return to stricter measures.
“The second wave of the pandemic is bigger than the first, and we are not immune to it,” Tawfiq Al-Rabiah said during a press briefing.
The minister called on the importance of adhering to preventative measures to limits the spread of the virus.
“This is a very difficult period and it is imperative that we take the pandemic seriously,” he said, adding that the kingdom did not want to return to stricter measures when the virus first broke out similar to other countries.
The minister echoed calls for public awareness that he made last week after an uptick in the number of daily coronavirus cases were recorded in Saudi Arabia.
