Qatar’s coronavirus cases see largest daily jump; 560 new cases, 49 new recoveries
In today’s COVID-19 statistics, the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) announced that Qatar recorded 560 new cases and 49 new recoveries.
Most of the new cases of COVID-19 are due to people being in contact with existing cases among citizens and residents and a number of the new cases are among migrant workers. Some cases of the virus were discovered among citizens and residents who contacted health authorities after experiencing symptoms of inflammation in the respiratory system. The newly infected cases have been placed under complete isolation and they are receiving necessary medical care.
MoPH stated that the noticeable increase in the number of confirmed new cases of infection is due to several reasons, including the fact that the spread of the virus has started to enter into the peak stage, which is the highest wave that affects the country, which may continue to increase for a period before it starts to decline. It is also due to the steady increase in efforts of the Ministry and its medical teams to track the transmission chains of the COVID-19 and conduct intensive and proactive investigations of groups of contacts with people who were diagnosed with the disease previously. This has contributed to the early detection of many cases of infection and reducing the spread of the virus.
49 cases of recoveries were registered, bringing the total cases of COVID-19 in Qatar to 464.
The total number of tests conducted in Qatar as of today is 58,328.
MoPH calls on all members of society to stay at home and not go out except where absolutely necessary. Ministry of Public Health also requests all members of society to cooperate fully and adhere to all health guidelines and preventive measures to reduce the risk of infection, including sticking to social and physical distancing guidelines.
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.

@daniel 464 is the number of total recoveries.
"560 new cases -- total cases of COVID-19 in Qatar 464." -- That's a funny kind of arithmetic.
