As Qatar's health authorities continue to intensify monitoring, detection and management procedures to contain the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country, the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has announced 64 additional, positive cases of the virus in the country. 

The total number of confirmed COVID-19 cases has now reached 401.

So far, at least 7950 people have undergone COVID-19 testing in Qatar.

Almost all the cases are said to be in stable condition and continue to receive treatment at Hamad Medical Corporation's Communicable Disease Center (CDC).

Yesterday, officials from the Ministry announced that four expatriate patients who had contracted the COVID-19 in Qatar have fully recovered from it and are now in good health condition.

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.
