Effective COVID-19 measures – The Peninsula Qatar

Effective measures taken by the government have seen the new daily COVID-19 cases declining over the past days. The recent wave of infections, fuelled by the highly transmissible Omicron variant of the Coronovirus, hit a peak of over 4,000 cases around January 16. The new cases have been gradually declining ever since though. On Wednesday, the country reported a total of 2,204 cases during the past 24 hours, including 535 cases being detected in incoming international travelers. 

Prime Minister and Minister of Interior H E Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani, while chairing a Cabinet meeting yesterday via video conference, also reviewed the COVID-19 situation in the country and took a number of decisions.
