MoPH reports 100 new cases and 362,094 total Covid-19 recoveries

The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) Tuesday reported 100 new confirmed cases of Covid-19 during the past 24 hours, and recorded 143 recoveries from the virus, bringing the total number of cases recovered in Qatar to 362,094.

In a statement, MoPH said all the new confirmed cases were in the community and no cases among travellers have been reported.

It pointed out that 6,707,793 vaccine doses have been administered since the start of the vaccination programme, adding that 2,255 Covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered in the past 24 hours.

The ministry further added that 1,502,202 Covid-19 booster vaccine doses have been administered to date, and 89% of the total population was now fully vaccinated with two doses.

In its statement, the MoPH explained that there is clear evidence of the protective effects of the vaccines, with the majority of patients being admitted to ICU with Covid-19 being either unvaccinated or having had their second dose more than six months ago and have not received a booster dose.

It also noted that the latest evidence shows that the country has passed the peak of the third wave of the pandemic, as the number of daily new cases of the virus continues to decrease,
