The Committee urges all target segments to take the initiative and get vaccinated against Covid-19 to protect themselves, their families and their communities from this disease.

While appreciating the commitment of many individuals in society and across different establishments to precautionary measures aimed to curb the spread of the disease, the Supreme Committee expresses its astonishment and deep concern at the indifference of some people who continue to hold gatherings for various events in stark violation of the approved procedures. The Committee warns that the (law and order) departments concerned are firm in undertaking (punitive) action adequate in this regard.
