The Supreme Committee tasked with tackling developments resulting from coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic today paid a visit to the National Emergency Management Centre (NEMC).

                  Sayyid Hamoud bin Faisal al-Busaidi, Minister of Interior, Chairman of the Supreme Committee, and panel members listened to a briefing about the role of the NEMC in handling Covid-19 and the tasks undertaken by sectors and departments concerned, notably the management of intera-governorate lockdown and Ban-on-Movement (BoM) efforts enforced by the Royal Oman Police (ROP) in cooperation with the Sultan’s Armed Forces.

                  It is worth noting that a number of sectors have been tasked with managing emergency cases, and these are the sectors of Medical Response, public health, Relief and Shelter sector, the media sector, the public awareness sector—all which coordinate and cooperate with the competent authorities for the overall purpose of realizing partnership between government, military, public and private sectors.

                  The NEMC drafts plans and mechanisms to enhance resources and rally efforts to curb Covid-19 propagation. The Centre also seeks to sustain basic services in liaison with the National Committee for the Management of Emergency Cases, which includes in its membership representatives from government departments, the Sultan’s Armed Forces, Royal Oman Police and specialised institutions and authorities.
