Saudi: Number of Coronavirus Infections Could Reach 200,000
The number of COVID-19 cases in Saudi Arabia could reach up to 200,000 within a few weeks, according to the Kingdom’s health minister.
Citing four Saudi and international studies on Tuesday, Dr. Tawfiq Al-Rabiah said the case figure is likely to see a constant increase rather than a decrease, Saudi Press Agency reported.
“Within the next few weeks, studies predict the number of infections will range from a minimum of 10,000 to a maximum of 200,000,” Al-Rabiah said.
The minister added it was vital the public cooperated with the government’s instructions and precautionary measures to limit the number of infections.
