Riyadh:  Commenting on the decision to lift all covid preventive measures, Saudi Minister of Health, Fahd Al-Jalajel, announced that his country had provided historical lessons for the whole world during the pandemic, with the main message being people first, this was evident when King Salman directed to provide free treatment for all covid patients without differentiating between citizens, residents, or illegal migrants.
Al-Jalajel stressed that the high rates of immunization with vaccines exceeded 95% of the total population, which contributed to reducing the number of infections by 87% and reducing critical cases by 96%.
