Bektashi World Leader, His Grace, Haxhi Dede Edmond Brahimaj: “Dear friends! We are following with natural human concern the developments related to the coronavirus pandemic, which unfortunately have become extremely aggravating, when we all would like the opposite to happen.
Today the situation is much worse in the whole world, where 106 countries are affected, while Italy in particular has an extreme aggravation with over 5061 cases and about 233 deaths.
Evaluating:
- this very serious regional epidemiological situation;
- the fact that the situation in Italy has worsened by overcoming the "Red Zone", with escalation throughout its territory with a high mortality of about 4.4%, and imposed very strong restrictive measures;
- very fast increase of infected cases in Greece;
- the appearance of cases of coronavirus in other countries of our region that were unaffected;
- the information provided by the World Health Organization on the characteristics of this virus and the serious risks it poses;
I appeal: maximum strengthening of sanitary-epidemiological preventive measures;
1- Personal hygiene (washing hands often and not less than 20-30 seconds) and collective hygiene,
2- DO NOT COLLECT unnecessarily in public places and in other environments,
3- CARE for "hygiene of sneezing and coughing",
4- MAINTAINING the wetness of the throat by occasional drinking of small amounts of water,
5- VARIOUS FOOD, understood according to financial possibilities, rich in vitamins C, D, A,
6- THE MOST IMPRTANT in not paying attention to not attending schools and work centers in case of clinical signs similar to flu (sneezing, cough, headache, fever),
7- 14-day SELF-ISOLATION for persons coming from affected countries and with cases of community transmission of the disease, the map of which has been extended from China to Italy,
8- CONTACT the National Emergency Service with the number 127, IF he / she has symptoms such as fever, sneezing and coughing, difficulty breathing, and not coming directly to the hospital,
9- CARE for individuals over 65 years of age and for the regular treatment of chronic diseases that many of them have: chronic diseases of the heart, kidneys, liver, lungs (especially patients with COPD), joints, etc., as a group most at risk for complications from Covid-19 / Sars-Cov-2 infection,
10- SELF-CONTROL and not panic for a situation of temporary transition of the epidemiological threat of the population… There is no concealment of reality and everyone will be informed, since the first case of isolation of this cause in Albania….
THE BATTLE FOR LIFE IS MINORABLE AND VICTORIOUS In it the wise, the willing and the white-hearted always come out… .. TOGETHER we will be able to overcome AGAIN the battle against Covid-19 / Sars-Cov-2. We pray to the Most High God of give us strength and will, to overcome these situations as gently as possible.
God bless Albania!
Amin! ”
