Qatar: More than 900 new coronavirus cases today

The Ministry of Public Health today announced the registration of 918 new confirmed cases of COVID-19, as well as 216 new recovered cases in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of recovered cases in the State of Qatar to 2,286.

The Ministry explained that most of the new cases are due to expatriate workers who have been infected with the virus as a result of contact with individuals who have been previously infected, in addition to recording new cases from within groups of workers from various regions. These cases have been identified as a result of investigations carried out by the Ministry.

The remaining new cases infected with the virus have come from citizens and residents who have contracted the virus from members of their families, who in turn had contracted the virus through their workplaces or other places where they had been exposed to infected people.

All the new infected cases have been quarantined where they are receiving the necessary medical care.

The Ministry of Public Health notes that the current period will see a fluctuation in the number of cases of infection due to several reasons, including that the outbreak of the virus is in the peak stage before the number of infections begins to descend gradually.

The Ministry has also recently stepped up efforts to track the transitional chains of the virus and expand the search for people infected by conducting extensive and proactive investigations of large numbers of contacts with people who have recently been confirmed with the disease.
