The Al-Amal Medical Center in the town of Arsal, in cooperation with the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), has implemented an awareness campaign for Syrian refugees and the town's dwellers to prevent spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The campaign included introducing the most important symptoms of the virus, its transmission methods and how to prevent it, as well as teaching beneficiaries on the correct precautions such as washing hands, dealing with coughing, and ensuring personal and household hygiene, with the distribution of 5,000 health bags containing medical sterilizers, protective masks, and other necessary supplies. The medical staff were also trained in how to deal with the COVID-19 by following the steps of personal protection and how to deal with patients and provide them with appropriate treatment. This assistance comes within the framework of the humanitarian aid provided by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, represented by the KS relief, to help the Syrian refugees in all areas to alleviate their suffering as a result of the humanitarian crises they are going through.
