Qatar will gradually lift Covid-19 restrictions in four phases, starting on June 15, amid precautionary measures.
This was revealed by HE Lolwah Rashid AlKhater, Official Spokesperson of the Supreme Committee for Crisis Management, at a press conference on Monday on the latest developments regarding Qatar’s efforts to prevent the spread of Covid-19 and the gradual removal of restrictions.
“Thanks to the precautionary and preventive measures taken, we have been able to handle the situation effectively,” she said.
The time has come to gradually lift the restrictions and this will be done in four phases while following all precautionary measures, she noted, adding that the entire society – individuals and organisations – should play an active role in ensuring protection.
Lifting of restrictions doesn’t mean waiving social distancing rules and other measures, including use of the Ehteraz app as a condition for entry into public places. Also, the removal of restrictions could be reviewed if there is any lapse in observance of the precautionary measures, she said.
The first phase of lifting restrictions will start on June 15, with the gradual opening of mosques. This will be followed by the second phase from July 1, third phase from August 1 and fourth phase from September 1.
Small-scale public gatherings will be allowed from Phase 2, with a maximum of 10 people. This will be increased to 40 people in Phase 3, while all gatherings will be permitted in Phase 4, including wedding ceremonies.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was
curious what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours
would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very web savvy so I’m not 100% certain. Any tips
or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
