2/4 With the sharp surge of new cases over the last 4 weeks, the % of active cases has been increasing signalling a potential overload of the health system.
3/4 Currently, there are 3202 active #COVID19 cases. The average % of critical cases was 4% in July. If this continues, the available 260 ICU beds in our hospitals will be fully occupied once we have 6500 active cases, which could happen before the end of August.
4/4 What can we do about this?
1⃣ Mandate face masks in all indoor public places
2⃣ Enforce 14-day quarantine for all travellers to 🇱🇧
3⃣ Complete ban of all large gatherings
4⃣ Educate, educate, educate
5⃣ Communicate, communicate, communicate
