The move aims to curb the spreading of infection, and all the same, help patients that may develop serious manifestations of the infection by providing timely medical care by the experts.

Elaborating on the idea behind the hospital care quarantine stay packages, Dr. Mohammad Faisal Parvez, Chief Operating Officer of Thumbay Hospital, commented, “Strengthening your immune system through multiple approaches – healthy diet, monitoring vitals, and avoiding mental exhaustion – is the most effective strategy to fight the infection. We cater to both young and old, with our USP being that we customize COVID19 meals as per the dietitian’s recommendations. For example, if we have requests for salt-free or diabetic meals, we take care to supply meals that adhere to these specifications. Also, regular visit from the doctors ensures their recovery is being continuously monitored, while further reducing the risk of the virus being transmitted, in line with the UAE’s overall strategy to combat COVID.

The hospital has formulated a comprehensive COVID management excellence committee at the hospital level to ensure proper adherence to ministry guidelines and offer excellent care to patients.”

Tel Aviv/Washington: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that he had spoken with US President Donald Trump on Monday. Netanyahu said that Trump believes recent US-Israeli military operations in Iran could be translated into a negotiated agreement safeguarding Israel’s interests.

In a video statement, Netanyahu said Trump viewed the “tremendous achievements” of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the US military as an opportunity to realise the objectives of the war through a diplomatic arrangement.

“President Trump believes there is a chance to leverage the tremendous achievements of the IDF and the U.S. military in order to realise the war's objectives in an agreement, an agreement that will safeguard our vital interests,” Netanyahu said, adding, “We will protect our vital interests under any circumstances.”

He stated that military operations were continuing, saying Israeli forces were striking targets in both Iran and Lebanon. Netanyahu reiterated that the ongoing campaign was “crushing the missile programme and the nuclear programme” of Iran and was also “inflicting heavy damage” on Hezbollah.

“Just a few days ago we eliminated two more (Iranian) nuclear scientists. And this is not the end,” he said.
Netanyahu’s remarks came shortly after Trump announced that the United States had held “very good” talks with an unnamed Iranian official. The US President’s diplomatic outreach followed hours before a now-postponed ultimatum he had set for Tehran. The ultimatum issued asked Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz shipping lane or face US military action against its power plants.

Citing an unnamed Israeli official, news outlet Axios has identified the Iranian interlocutor as Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran’s Parliament and one of the country’s most prominent non-clerical figures.

However, Ghalibaf dismissed the report, stating in a post on X that “no negotiations” were under way.
