The Supreme Committee for Crisis Management made new announcements stating preventive and precautionary measures by Qatar against the spread of coronavirus:
- Industrial area roads from Street No. 1 to Street No. 32 will be closed for 2 weeks. This decision comes as a safety measure after discovering a number of positive cases for coronavirus in the area, who are subject to quarantine.
- All retail shops and bank branches in the commercial complexes, shopping centres and malls, with the exception of grocery stores and pharmacies, must be closed temporarily.
- All men and women salons, until further notice, will be closed and all home services provided by the salons must be stopped.
- Health clubs and gyms in hotels, according to the circulars issued by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, should be closed until further notice.
