it can not be the Ministry of Health to ask for medical staff and health facilities following precautions against virus infection Corona on the one hand and ignore inform them of the latest development definitions and changes on the other.
this ignorance contributed significantly to the hotbeds of hospitals current that led to the injury of 15 practitioner health and led to the death of 3 of them, we do not know how many cases declared non-health teams were her injuries resulting from its presence at the center of a health facility.
might intercede source of the virus unknown to the poor performance of the Ministry of Health to contain the outbreak, "community", but there is not intercede in hotbeds of health facilities, which depends fit on the commitment and strict implementation of infection control procedures, which is one of the ABCs public health, and certainly sufficient deployment of these actions on its electronic does not reflect the seriousness in containing outbreaks.
did not disturb any of the outposts declared injury practitioner healthy and at least one death each, mercy of God, and this refers to the pattern of poor infection control procedures in a sign the poor performance of the central Ministry of Health to contain these outposts and outbreaks. It is not reasonable to be infected health practitioners all focus Herald, but if they do not feel the seriousness of the outbreak, and not A_i_aarhm This is not surprising given that the Ministry of Health continues to be used definitions of cases last year, has been copied and revoked four updates from the World Health Organization.

However, the current situation can be contained as long as it is still hotbeds sporadic, and perhaps initially be assessed put these outposts by visiting executives have to stand on infection control procedures and diagnosis into a bug and then determine the priorities and plans Containment, Kiglaq facility fully or partially and awareness of clinical and epidemiological and administrative identifying indicators for monitoring and follow-up.
we do not have the privilege of ignoring these outposts because it carries health risks, ethical and legal citizens and health teams.

Re: Saudi Arabia - Another brave journalist points out lack of effective infection control procedures established by Ministry of Health in midst of nCoV coronavirus outbreak as more health care workers become infected

There's not other way to control an emerging viral disease to quarantine individual cases and cohorting suspected patients until the confirmatory diagnosis is available or symptoms onset.

This is true for all the conditions against we have no medical countermeasures, such as Ebola and other viral haemorrhagic fevers, SARS-CoV, novel influenza A viruses with high pathogenicity for humans.

If the Infection Control Measures are not promptly activated and the Health Care staff is not formed, equipped and informed on actual disease spread and progression, there is no way to stop a disease to become a major scourge for the entire society.

Not only in term of public health, but even for societal stability: this is well demonstrated in all Ebola outbreaks, where scared population tends to flee hospital and doctors for fear of contagion.

Help, inform, educate. Not censor or conceal.
