MoPH confirms 10 new cases of COVID-19 in Qatar

The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) today announced the registration of 10 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the State of Qatar.

With these new cases, the total number of COVID-19 cases recorded in Qatar has now reached 470.

Most of the new cases are related to travelers who recently came to Qatar from the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and were quarantined, including five cases of Qatari citizens.

MoPH also continues to research and investigate those in contact with new cases and to conduct the necessary checks for all citizens and residents who have recently travelled into the country and are subject to quarantine either in a hotel or their home.

As health authorities in the country continue to implement the highest level of monitoring, detection, and management procedures to deal with the virus, the public has been advised to follow certain measures to safeguard their health.

This includes washing your hands often, using hand sanitizers, and keeping a distance of at least one meter (3 feet) from people who have symptoms of illness.

MoPH also advises citizens and residents to use a sleeve to cover the nose and mouth while coughing and sneezing in public or to use tissue paper and dispose it appropriately.

For any queries, or concerns related to COVID-19 in Qatar, the public can contact a 24/7 hotline set up by the Ministry. The hotline number is 16000 and is toll-free.

Here's everything you need to know about the virus, including ways to protect yourself.
