Measures to tackle Covid-19 in Qatar have succeeded in flattening the curve and limiting the spread of the virus and the number of new daily cases and hospital admissions is continuing to decline each week. Qatar’s proactive and extensive testing of suspected cases has enabled the authorities to identify a high number of positive cases in the community. Qatar has one of the lowest Covid-19 death rates in the world. This is a result of:

„ ■ Very high quality of care pro- vided through the public healthcare sector for Covid-19 patients.

„ ■ Qatar’s young population.

„ ■ Proactive testing to identify cases early.

„ ■ Expanding hospital capacity, especially intensive care, to ensure all patients receive the medical care they need.

„ ■ Protecting the elderly and those with chronic diseases.
