“Anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19 should either quickly contact the 16000 helpline or go directly to one of the designated health centers for testing. This is important as the earlier the disease is detected the easier it will be to receive the right treatment and recover from it,” ministry said.
The main screening centers include Muaither Health Centre, Rawdat Al Khail Health Centre, Umm Slal Health Centre and Al Gharafa Health Centre.
The Ministry said that since June 15, the State of Qatar has started gradually lifting restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic in four stages that will last until September 1, based on the extensive data and studies conducted by the concerned authorities in the country as well as international experiences where other countries have succeeded in limiting the spread of the virus while gradually lifting the restrictions imposed by it.
Preventive measures should continue to be observed throughout the gradually lifting of restrictions as the failure to do so may lead to the return of the virus outbreak in the country.
