Doha: In a social media post-Ministry of Public Health urged everyone to follow all Covid-19 precautions to avoid a second wave of coronavirus infections.
Last few days have seen steady increase in number of active Covid-19 cases in Qatar.
“Recently in Qatar we have seen a gradual but worrying increase in the number of new daily COVID-19 infections. It is more important than ever that people adhere to preventive measures,” MoPH posted.
MoPH reminded everyone to:
- Always wear a mask when you go outside your home.
- Maintain at least 1.5 metre distance from others.
- Avoid crowded places and limit time in enclosed places.
- Wash your hands regularly.
“Over the past month in Qatar we have seen a gradual and consistent increase in the number of new daily infections. Additionally, and of great concern, is the increase since mid-December in both the number of people with COVID-19 in hospital and the number of people in ICU,” Dr Abdullatif Al Khal, Chair of the National Health Strategic Group on COVID-19 and Head of Infectious Diseases at Hamad Medical Corporation, had said during a televised press conference held to announce the new developments related to COVID-19 in the country on Thursday.
