KUWAIT CITY, March 22 (MENA) - A group of Egyptian doctors in Kuwait launched an initiative under the name of "Your Doctor is With You..Stay Home" to answer questions by patients of coronavirus via Whatsapp without any fees.

In a statement posted on Facebook, the doctors said that they will answer any queries by the patients about the virus and symptoms of infection round the clock without prescribing any medication. The doctors are required to first identify themselves and mention their specialization and then answer the patients' questions.

They also pressed the need for not setting any dates for the patients to visit governmental or private clinics, adding that patients who need extra medical care should head for the emergency of any nearby hospital.

Meanwhile, patients are also allowed to post their questions directly on the Facebook group and doctors will rapidly respond to them.
