On the early detecting of the COVID-19 outbreak
Introduction: This paper aims to measure the performance of early detection methods, which are usually used for infectious diseases.Methodology: By using real data of confirmed Coronavirus cases from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Italy, the moving epidemic method (MEM) and the moving average cumulative sums (Mov. Avg Cusum) methods are used in our simulation study.Results: Our results suggested that the CUSUM method outperforms the MEM in detecting the start of the Coronavirus outbreak.

Acceptance and barriers of COVID-19 vaccination among people with chronic diseases in Saudi Arabia
Conclusions: Although a higher acceptance for the targeted group was expected, the participants showed a moderate acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine. Addressing the barriers in the current study regarding vaccine uptake and focusing on building trust in the safety and efficacy of the vaccine will aid in hesitancy and resistance toward the vaccine, specifically if these measures were undertaken by an authority such as the Saudi Ministry of Health.
