Annoying "Accidental touch" notification

Is there a way to disable that annoying "Accidental touch" notifcation that explains what does this feature do?
It shows up from time to time, blocking my way to unlocking my screen, telling me that the feature is turned on and what it does...

This is happening to me as well.  Since the latest update. 

Governments worldwide are going to have a strong word for Samsung!! 

Its the 'emergency SOS'. Search that in settings and turn it off.

Thanks I'm going to have to try this myself. As I've had to apologise to the emergency service's or whoever keeps answering 😕 yet again. Fingerprint and pattern lock, will this be OK? would this mean that my phone will not be able to ring a person accidentally? I hope this is a fix! If it is I don't understand the point of accidental touch protection! I even pulled my screen cover away from the camera with no effect. Once the call starts there is nothing you can do to cancel it. Hopefully samsung can fix this issue. I wish we could just put in our own password or better a 4 digit code for the owner to stop the the call. Lol bixby unlock my phone "enter pattern or Fingerprint" yet it understands accidental touch protection less than me.

Thanks for your reply. My problem is I slide my finger to unlock the accidental touch protection and you can see it unlock yet it doesn't the screen turns off. Therefore I have to try again 1st time about 100 times and gave up after the alarm and call. Lately I have learnt to leave it for a while then it seems to be in a better mood and only asks for my fingerprint! The one time from my post I needed to use my phone I ended up with the emergency services again this time I think they already could see my number lol. As the call was shorter than the 1st time. I'm going to try turning accidental touch protection off for a while. I would rather phone any of my contacts by ACCIDENT than the emergency services.

Nearly Fixed! Pulled my screen (gel) cover off! No more accidental touch! Comes up. Accidental touch is not fixed as I can now test this out! No more Alarms and ringing the emergency services! Hope this will help anyone else.
