The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) on Wednesday announced the registration of 1,740 new confirmed cases of coronavirus (COVID-19), and 1,439 new recovered cases in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of recoveries in Qatar to 13,283.
The ministry also announced two deaths due to the virus, taking the death toll to 30.
Over the last 24 hours, 12 people were admitted to the intensive care, bringing the total number of cases in intensive care to 203.
In a statement, the ministry said 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 of new cases of infection among groups of workers in different regions.
The new confirmed cases of infection have been put in complete isolation at various medical facilities, where they are receiving the necessary healthcare.
The ministry stated that the two new deaths were attributed to two persons, aged 75 and 68, who were suffering from chronic diseases, and had received the necessary medical care in intensive care.
The MoPH offered condolences and sympathy to the families of the deceased.
The ministry said anyone with the symptoms of COVID-19 must either quickly contact the 16000 helpline or go directly to one of the designated health centres for testing the virus.
This is important as the earlier the disease is detected the easier it will be to receive the right treatment and recover from it.
