Qatar: 1,632 new coronavirus cases reported today

Ministry of Public Health today announces the registration of 1632 ​new confirmed cases of COVID-19, and 582 people newly recovered from the disease in the last 24 hours.

During the last 24 hours, the Ministry of Health recorded 18 cases admitted to intensive care due to complications resulting from the infection, bringing the total number of cases receiving care in intensive care to 165 cases.

The Ministry states that the new cases are due to expatriate workers who were infected with the virus as a result of contact with individuals who were previously infected, in addition to recording new cases of infection among groups of workers in different regions.

Cases of infection have also increased among citizens and residents as a result of contact with infected family members who had been infected in the workplace or through visits and family gatherings.

The Ministry stresses the importance for the elderly or those suffering from chronic diseases and their family members to follow strict measures to reduce the chances of infection with the virus and to refrain from social visits during the rest of Ramadan as well as on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.

The reasons for the high numbers of new cases are due to the Ministry’s redoubling of its efforts in tracking the transitional chains of the virus and expanding the circle of searching for infected people through intensive and proactive investigations of large numbers of contacts with people who have been confirmed with the virus recently.
