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 fourth phase of the gradual lifting of precautionary restrictions began on Oct 3, and is part of a four-stage plan to gradually lift the precautionary restrictions imposed in Qatar due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. With Covid-19 still a threat to our health here in Qatar, it is important for everyone to play their role in controlling the virus by following precautionary measures:— Adherence to physical distancing— Avoiding close contact with others, crowded places and confined closed spaces where people congregate— Wearing a face mask— Washing hands regularlyPeople should take the Covid-19 vaccine at the earliest opportunity when their turn comes. Anyone suffering from Covid-19 symptoms should contact 16000 helpline immediately. This is important, as the earlier the disease is detected, the easier it will be to receive the right treatment and recover from it. Visit the MoPH website for regular updates and new information.
