The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) is leaving no stone unturned to ensure Qatar’s population is safe from coronavirus.
In order to take stock of the measures against coronavirus, Minister of Public Health HE Dr Hanan Mohamed al Kuwari visited Hamad Medical Corporation’s Communicable Disease Center (CDC). The minister was briefed on the preventive measures taken against coronavirus and the monitoring being done by the health sector during the visit.
The Ministry of Public Health is working with HMC and Primary Health Care Corporation (PHCC) in close collaboration with all stakeholders, including Qatar Airways and Hamad International Airport, to ensure appropriate measures are in place to protect Qatar’s population from the novel coronavirus that has caused an epidemic in China and has spread to other countries.
Opened in 2016, the CDC is the first facility of its kind in the region. The purpose-built facility is equipped to care for patients with rare or unknown, highly communicable diseases and any patient with suspected novel coronavirus 2019 is admitted to the CDC while awaiting their test results.
There are no confirmed cases of novel coronavirus in Qatar and the risk remains low for residents who have not travelled to China in the past 14 days.
Qatar has taken all required preventive measures and is closely following the protocols and guidelines set out by international bodies, including the World Health Organization.
While the risk for infection remains low, any resident who experiences fever, cough, shortness of breath, or difficulty breathing, and has travelled to China, or had contact with an infected person, in the last 14 days should immediately call the MoPH hotline on 6674 0948 or 6674 0951 for further assistance or visit their nearest primary health centre.
