In today’s newspapers.

Hamad medical Corporation experts call for vigilance against COVID-19.

Senior experts at Hamad medical Corporation are warning that unless people follow all precautionary measures the country may experience a second wave of the virus. And see numbers increasing again, as there are already signs of this happening in other parts of the world.

People should wear masks and maintain social distancing while meeting friends and colleagues in workplaces.

Masks trap droplets that are released when the person wearing the mask sneezes coughs or talks. The virus gets caught in the mask and it doesn’t spread to other people.
