The Ministry of Health issued here today a guidebook for the diabetics during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) combat, in order to lay out the best ways to prevent the pandemic spread among them, and the necessary measurements to be taken, in this regard. The guidebook was posted on the awareness diffusion platform of the ministry as well as on its account on Twitter, containing a wide range of advice on dealing with the symptoms of the pandemic, especially those that require reporting to the nearest emergency clinic. It also reasserts abiding by the main preventive and precautionary means of protection, including regular hands washing or sanitizing them, covering the mouth and the nose on sneezing and coughing, using the mask, in addition to keeping the safe distance to commit to the social distancing instructions. Staying at home, avoidance of touching dirty surfaces, itch not either the eyes or the nose, consuming healthy and balanced diets and keeping away of contacting those showing symptoms of any respiratory disease, are also included, in the guidebook.
