Saudi Health Minister: COVID-19 Cases Could Reach 200,000
Studies show that in just a few short weeks, COVID-19 cases in Saudi could reach between 10,000 to 200,000.
And if the numbers reach these dizzying heights, the Saudi health system could not cope, according to a stark warning which comes directly from Tawfik Al-Rabiah, Saudi’s Health Minister.
In an address to the nation, he confirmed Saudi cases are the highest in the Gulf and that experts have suggested the numbers will rise to between 10,000 and 200,000 DEPENDING on how compliant the public is with the ‘stay home’ initiatives.
The Minister added that although Saudi took a proactive approach to fight the virus, there are two main problems:
First: Lack of sufficient supplies in the global markets of medical equipment and supplies for our future needs if the number of infections are enormously increased.#SPAGOV

Second: Negligence of some society's members to abide by the precautionary measures may rise infections – as studies have confirmed – to levels that the health sector cannot meet.#SPAGOV
