Group activities, such as matches involving contact between players, that make it difficult to maintain the recommended safe distance are not allowed.
The NSD Committee has urged relevant authorities in Qatar to avoid holding any events or activities that may lead to crowding.
The public is requested to follow the preventive and precautionary measures recommended by MoPH to keep themselves and others around them safe.
