MoPH has confirmed the post being circulated on social media as incorrect. The incorrect post being circulated with the State of Qatar logo on it states that after a WHO warning, the Aviation Engineering and Technology Clinic published a circular that lists a number of medicines and pain killers that are banned or forbidden to be used during the pandemic.

The Ministry also urged all the community members to obtain news and information from official sources, through the Ministry’s website, and through its social media accounts.
