People told to rely on information from doctors, medical experts

A DOCTOR has warned the people to rely only on information on the Coronavirus (Covid-19) provided by doctors and medical experts – not from social media.
Dr Mathias Sapuri, the United Nations in-country physician and senior consultant on obstetrics and gynaecology was addressing Government House staff in Port Moresby on Tuesday on the Covid-19.
He was invited by Governor-General Grand Chief Sir Bob Dadae. Dr Sapuri said many people who posted negative comments on social media about the Covid-19 and vaccination lacked knowledge about the virus.
“As a medical scientist, I rely on information published by other doctors in the medical journals and other such publications,” he said.
“I do not base my advice on social media.
“I urge you all to do the same. Seek factual information from reliable sources to make informed choices regarding the Covid-19 and vaccination.”
He explained that the vaccination boosts a person’s immunity and prevents the likelihood of getting seriously ill from the Covid-19, and death.
