Current COVID-19 Status as of February 05, 2021
- Due to the measures put in place by Qatar’s government and the support of the public in following preventive steps, Qatar succeeded in suppressing the spread of the virus since its peak in July.
- However, over the past month in Qatar, we have seen a gradual and consistent increase in new daily infections.
- Additionally, and of great concern, the recent increase in the number of people admitted to hospital with COVID-19 and the number of people admitted to ICU with COVID-19.
- The data over the next few days and weeks will tell us more about the country’s condition on Covid-19, but these increases appear to be the early signs of a potential second wave in Qatar.
- For this reason, it is more important than ever that people adhere to preventive measures to cut off the second wave before it gains momentum.
- If the numbers of positive cases and hospital admissions continue to increase over the coming week or two, additional restrictions may need to be implemented across the country, and we will return to some of the early restriction phases.
What You Can Do
- With the current increase in the number of COVID-19 cases in Qatar, everyone needs to play their role in controlling the virus by following precautionary measures:
- Adherence to physical distancing.
- Avoid close contact with others, crowded places, and confined closed spaces where other people congregate.
- Wearing a face mask
- Washing hands regularly.
- Anyone suffering from COVID-19 symptoms or showing any signs should contact the 16000 helplines immediately. This is essential as the earlier the disease is detected, the easier it will be to receive the right treatment and recover from it.
