Doha: In recent weeks, the number of COVID-19 positive cases among travellers has been low compared to those reported from the community.
In the past few days, about 10 percent of the cases were from returning travellers, and a very effective system is in place to prevent the risk of infection spreading from travelers, said Medical Director of Communicable Disease Center, Dr. Muna Al Maslamani.
“The COVID-19 continues to pose a real threat to the health of people in Qatar and it is imperative that people follow all preventive measures to reduce the risk of infection. The strict and increasing compliance with strategies to mitigate public health impacts, such as vaccination, physical distancing, and use of masks, hand hygiene, isolation and quarantine is essential to curb the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19 and protect public health,” Dr. Al Maslamani told The Peninsula.
