HE Dr. Hanan Mohamed Al Kuwari, Minister of Public Health, affirmed that the restrictions targeting the unvaccinated individuals against the Coronavirus (COVID-19) will remain in force, as will the testing process on a regular basis as long as the world has not reached the level of vaccination with which it can be said that the virus has been eliminated.
During the Environmental Economics and Public Health session, which was held as part of the activities of Qatar Economic Forum, in cooperation with Bloomberg, which is currently being held via video conferencing, the Minister stressed the importance of testing as a safety matter to open various business and economic activities.
She expressed her hope that Qatar would reach the stage of herd immunity, especially since vaccination significantly reduces the transmission of the virus, but does not eliminate it completely.
