But it wasn’t until four days later that the government declared it would restrict flights to countries with outbreaks and stop all pilgrimage flights.
“The head of the ministry’s public relations department did not respond to me even once this week,” he said. “People believe that the government has failed to properly monitor the coronavirus and has been unprepared to control it.”
