HMC highlights precautionary measures to follow when entering workplaces
With a recent spike in the number of COVID-19 cases, relevant authorities in Qatar have been urging the public to adhere to the recommended precautionary and preventive measures to ensure the safety of all.
The country recently reimposed a four-tier restrictions plan to curb the spread of COVID-19. Prior to that, the Cabinet had announced that starting February 4, 2021, a 32-point plan will be imposed across the country.
The Cabinet had also highlighted that the percentage of employees in workplaces will remain at 80 percent, while the remaining 20 would continue remote work.
Following this, Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has emphasized the importance of following certain precautionary measures when entering workplaces.
