THE Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) announced on Monday that 1,783 people have recovered from coronavirus (COVID-19) in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of recoveries in Qatar to 58,681.
The ministry also reported three deaths due to the virus and 1,274 new confirmed cases of COVID-19 on Monday.
The ministry said in a statement that during the last 24 hours, 18 new cases have been admitted to intensive care due to health complications caused by the infection, bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases currently in intensive care to 238.
The ministry added that there has been a small decrease in the number of acute COVID-19 positive patients being admitted to intensive care, thanks to the measures taken by the ministry and the concerned authorities to contain the virus, the most important of which is the early detection of the virus which can contribute significantly to reducing the severity of infection.
The ministry said that the new cases concerned expatriate workers, who were infected with the virus as a result of contact with individuals who were previously infected. There were also cases of infection among groups of workers in different regions. The new cases were identified by track and trace team at the Ministry of Public Health.
Cases of infection have also increased significantly among citizens and residents who came into contact with family members that had been infected in the workplace, or through visits and family gatherings.
The new confirmed cases of infection have been put under complete isolation in the various medical facilities in the country, where they receive the necessary healthcare according to the health status of each case. (QNA)
The ministry said that the three deaths recorded on Monday were of persons aged 60, 62 and 87 years old who were admitted to the ICUs. The ministry offered sincere condolences to the families of the deceased.
The Ministry confirmed that efforts to tackle the COVID-19 virus in Qatar have succeeded in flattening the curve and significantly reducing the impact of the virus.
The ministry also stated that Qatar has now started to overcome the peak phase of the virus with the beginning of its decline, thanks to the measures taken by the State to address it along with the commitment of the community members to follow the ministry’s instructions, the most important of which are maintaining social and physical distancing, staying home, going out only when necessary and wearing masks.
Anyone who has symptoms of COVID-19 should either quickly contact the 16000 helpline or go directly to one of the designated health centres for testing, the ministry said, emphasising that the earlier the disease is detected, the easier it will be to receive the right treatment and recover from it.
The main screening centres for COVID-19 include Muaither Health Centre, Rawdat Al Khail Health Centre, Umm Slal Health Centre and Al Gharafa Health Centre.
