Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) today recorded 313 new cases of coronavirus (Covid-19) and 226 people recovered from the virus in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of people recovered in Qatar to 120,766.
Out of the 313 new cases, 296 are community cases and 17 from travellers returning from abroad. All new cases have been placed in isolation and are receiving necessary health care according to their health status.
The MoPH issued a statement on Covid-19 developments in Qatar, which said the following:
Current Covid-19 status:
Measures to tackle Covid-19 in Qatar have succeeded in flattening the curve and limiting the spread of the virus and the number of new daily cases and hospital admissions is continuing to decline each week.
Qatar's proactive and extensive testing of suspected cases has enabled us to identify a high number of positive cases in the community.
Qatar has one of the lowest Covid-19 death rates in the world. This is a result of:
- Very high quality of care provided thorough the public healthcare sector for COVID-19 patients
- Qatar's young population
- Proactive testing to identify cases early
- Expanding hospital capacity, especially intensive care, to ensure all patients receive the medical care they need
- Protecting the elderly and those with chronic diseases.
Even though restrictions are being lifted, and numbers are declining, this does not mean that the Covid-19 pandemic is finished in Qatar – people continue to be admitted with moderate to severe Covid-19 symptoms.
