The social media account, where the public can follow all official news and announcements related to COVID-19 recovery efforts in the Sultanate, had initially unveiled a re-branding of its name to ‘Oman To Recovery’ on June 14.

The move to revert back to the platform’s previous branding comes after the Sultanate registered a record high number of daily new cases yesterday [Monday, July 13], with 2,164 new infections bringing the country’s cumulative total to 58,179.
