Individuals that attended the Gulfood Expo Dubai in February have been asked to report to authorities.
Dr. Ibrahim Afzal made the appeal at the daily Covid-19 press conference held on Monday night.
He stressed that there is reason to believe that some of those that attended the expo “did actually come back with the Covid-19”.
Hence, the doctor asked those that attended the expo held from February 16-20 to report to 1676, the hotline for corona related issues.
He added that it is not likely that any of the individuals will be taken in to quarantine or even isolation, and emphasized that this is being done “to do a backtracking to find out how many had this infection”.
