provision of all the needed work requirements, protective gear from the disease, organizing awareness lectures pertaining to how to deal with the disease and the patients and the quarantined cases of all types, and how to deal with various medications, as well as the notable cooperation between the administration and the nursing staff during their shifts, thus facilitating all the matters connected to performing their tasks. 55. NIHR noticed that special attention was given to the elderly who were present at the isolation and quarantine centers and providing services to them. Also special attention to raise health awareness through distributing informative flyers (brochures), providing laptops for university students to resume their university studies, providing internet Wi-Fi services in all the centers, noting that hot drinks and water bottles were available all the time, and the daily meals were well varied. 56. On another side, NIHR sees the need to increase the level of cleanliness and hygiene in general in the isolation and quarantine centers; speed up the needed medications for patients with chronic diseases; enhance health awareness especially when the patients first arrive to the isolation or quarantine places; add to the meal variety to cater for those with a chronic disease and the elderly; intensify the awareness lectures and short courses for medical staff on how to deal with these diseases and the equipment, appliances, and medications related to them; adding to that, the Sitra quarantine center is located in an open area which caused dust storms that seriously annoyed the people there.
