The evaluation results will be handed to the cabinet, probably next Thursday for discussion of further plans.

After confirming what was published by Al-Rai last Tuesday, the daily highlighted that with regard to removing the lockdown from the rest of the areas, the Mahboula area is still the closest with the rate of infection, and stressed that removing them is subject to the residents’ commitment to health instructions, and applying social distancing.
