(MENAFN - Gulf Times) The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) reported Friday 112 new confirmed cases of Covid-19 among community and 60 among travelers. The MoPH recorded 97 recoveries from the virus during the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of cases recovered in Qatar to 223, 591. Vaccination Program data: - 3, 775, 560 Covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered since the start of the program. - 23, 279 Covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered in the past 24 hours. - 84 percent of the eligible population has now received at least one dose of the vaccine. - 98. 6 percent of over 60s (the most vulnerable population group) have been vaccinated with at least one dose, while 93. 6 percent have received both 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. 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.
