- The State of Qatar does not use any equipment to detect cases except those that have been proven by the laboratory, scientifically and recognized effective.
- The primary safety line is the consciences of people and their control over themselves before the supervision of the concerned authorities.
- There is an increase in the number of casualties for Qataris coming from abroad, many of whom do not adhere to the conditions of quarantine and safe distance.
- The Ministry of Health received more than 43,000 calls on the 16,000 hotline within 3 weeks, with a response rate of more than 92%, the average response speed is about 5 seconds, the average waiting time is about 5 seconds, and the satisfaction rate is about 90 %.
- The recent rise in the corona case index has two main reasons. The first is the return of Qataris from abroad and the second is technical. It is the use of new detection devices that can monitor a greater number of cases in a smaller period of time and in larger numbers.
- Qatar launches an official site (https://sci.adlsa.gov.qa) for those wishing to contribute and support from individuals and companies to combat the Coronavirus in the State of Qatar.
