With Qatar reimposing a series of restrictions in the wake of rising COVID-19 cases, the Ministry of Interior (MoI) has intensified mobile and foot patrols in residential and commercial areas to ensure public compliance with preventive and precautionary measures to limit the spread of the virus.
On the first day of the reintroduction of COVID-19 restrictions on Thursday, police teams stepped up patroling in different areas of the country.
One such patrol team was deployed at the entrance of the Sealine Beach in Mesaieed. They monitored the people going to the beach and desert to see if they wore masks and followed the guidelines for safe vehicle occupancy limits.
Speaking at a press conference on Wednesday, Brigadier-General Abdullah Khalifa Al Muftah, Director of the MoI’s Public Relations Department, said mobile and foot patrols will be intensified in residential and commercial areas to catch the violators of the precautionary measures in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the designated authorities referred 216 people to the Public Prosecution for not wearing masks where they are mandatory.
The police also referred six people to the Public Prosecution for breaking a rule that bans more than four people, including the driver, from travelling together in a car, unless the occupants are of a family.
Qatar has reaffirmed the requirement of masks for everyone stepping out of their homes, unless they are driving alone in a car. It has also maintained a ban on more than four people travelling together in a vehicle as it reimposed more restrictions such as limiting people coming to offices for work at 80 percent of the staff strength and ban on weddings, except for those held at homes or at majilis with fewer than 10 people indoors or 20 people outdoors.
