Current COVID-19 Status
? Every day, hundreds of people are becoming sick due to the COVID-19 with many requiring admission to hospital to manage their symptoms.
? Since 1 February, the number of people with COVID-19 admitted to hospital has doubled.
? Qatar’s strict quarantine policy for returning travelers enabled us to delay the introduction of new variants into this country for several months but we are now seeing positive COVID-19 cases in the region and in Qatar with the new variants from the United Kingdom.
? This new variant is much more contagious and spread more easily between people than the existing strain and may be associated with increased severity of disease
? The good news is that the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna vaccines being used in our vaccination program are effective against the new variants
? The pace of the vaccination program means that there is finally hope of a gradual return to normal for us here in Qatar and people around the world. But this will not happen in the next few weeks or months.
