The groups that are most vulnerable and most affected by COVID-19 have been advised not to go to the Al-Bashir Hospitals to pick up their medication, said General Director of Al-Bashir Hospitals, Mahmoud Zureikat, on Friday.

Instead, Zureikat suggested patients send someone on their behalf to pick up what they need.

Vulnerable groups include the elderly and those who suffer from chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, diabetes and multiple sclerosis.

These individuals will not be allowed to enter the hospital to preserve their safety and prevent the spread of coronavirus.
