United Development Company (UDC), a leading Qatari public shareholding company and master developer of The Pearl-Qatar and Gewan Island, has collaborated with the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) on the national initiative to protect the community against the Covid-19 pandemic.
In this context, random Covid-19 tests were conducted over two days for 600 frontline UDC workers in addition to retail and restaurant staff who are dealing directly with customers and visitors at The Pearl-Qatar to ensure the safety of all.



"This initiative comes within the framework of government efforts to contain the spread of the pandemic in light of the return to work in public and private sectors and after the reopening of retail stores, restaurants, mosques and beaches at The Pearl-Qatar as part of the gradual lifting of Covid-19- related restrictions, which has resulted in a remarkable increase in visitor influx and retail activity," UDC said in a statement yesterday.
The Pearl-Qatar has also embarked on Phase 3 of the gradual lifting of restrictions related to Covid-19, including the reopening of parks, playgrounds, nurseries, salons, spas and gyms.
Having said that, UDC has taken active preventive measures and imposed strict restrictions since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, to safeguard the health and safety of all residents and visitors of The Pearl-Qatar; and continues to do so in light of Qatar’s directives, the statement notes.
"The Pearl-Qatar continues to be a prime destination for entertainment, shopping and dining, with more than 33,000 residents and 350 retail and F&B outlets currently operating on the Island," it adds.
