The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) on Saturday reported 140 new confirmed cases of Covid-19 among community and 15 among travelers. The Ministry also recorded 121 recoveries from the virus during the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of cases recovered in Qatar to 240,399.

National Covid-19 Vaccination Program Data:

- 4957916 Covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered since the start of the program.

- 3773 Covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered in the past 24 hours.

- 85.3 percent of the total population are now fully vaccinated with two doses.

 In recent weeks the combined impact of Covid-19 restrictions and increasing vaccination rates, and the overwhelming support of the community, has resulted in a consistent reduction in the number of new daily infections in the country, MoPH said.

 However, it is still important to be cautious as the second wave is not yet over and there are still two highly contagious and highly virulent strains of the virus that are actively circulating in the community, the Ministry added.

 The fourth phase of the gradual lifting of precautionary restrictions began on Sunday, Oct. 3, and is part of a four-stage plan to gradually lift the precautionary restrictions imposed in Qatar due to the Covid-19
