The Prime Minister of the State of Qatar, Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa Al Thani, said that his country faces the new epidemic of Corona with force, determination and mobilization of everyone's efforts to protect society.

The ministry indicated - in a statement - the registration of four similar cases of recovery from residents and expats, bringing the total cases of recovery to 37 cases.

And Saturday, the Qatari authorities announced the imposition of additional precautions to prevent all forms of gathering in public facilities, in continuation of the efforts made by Doha to address Corona and limit its spread.

The Qatar Charity Association launched an initiative called "Volunteer for Qatar", on Sunday, to contribute to the efforts made by the state to limit the spread of the new Corona virus (COFED-19), according to the standards of the Ministry of Public Health and relevant authorities in Qatar.
