Earlier, the Ministry of Health and Prevention encouraged people to apply for vacancies for nurses and nursing assistants, who are on the front lines of the fight against the pandemic.
“Fighting the epidemic is still ongoing and the contribution of the nursing staff will help to succeed in this mission,” the ministry said in a video posted on Saturday.
“The opportunity is open for those wishing to join the work within the nursing teams.”
The coronavirus cases globally crossed 42.4 million, with several countries recording a major surge in numbers over the past weeks due to people gathering indoors as temperatures drop.

A new report has said the world's tourism industry was unlikely to see the same level of spending that was achieved last year until 2024.
Global consultancy McKinsey said the tourism industry may face a drop of $8.1 trillion in spending as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The virus has thrown the travel and tourism industry across the world out of gear due to stay home measures and travel restrictions that have shut down cities and impacted businesses.
