Doha
From stopping all incoming flights to shutting all public transport services, Qatar announced a series of major announcements on Sunday aimed at curbing the spread of coronavirus in the country.

The announcements came after the Amir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani chaired a meeting of the Supreme Committee for Crisis Management. All the decisions were taken based on the Amir’s directive.

The measures were announced at a press conference attended by MoFA spokesperson Lolwah al Khater and other officials.

Khater said no incoming flights to Doha will be allowed to touch down in Doha for a period of 14 days from Wednesday evening. The embargo will be reviewed after the two-week period. However, air cargo and transit flights, in addition to any flight with Qatari citizens coming from any destination in the world, will be allowed.

Those coming on such flights will be in quarantine for two weeks.
