The Planning and Statistics Authority will launch field work of the final phase of Qatar Census 2020 on Sunday, which will continue until mid-January 2021, with the participation of more than 2,000 field researchers.
The Authority explained in a press release that the field work consists in collecting and completing data on families and individuals, as the researcher will provide the head of the family with three options to complete his data and his family data, either through a direct interview with the researcher, or through the enveloped paper form that will be distributed during the field visit, in a way that allows citizens and residents to fill it out in a timely manner and hand it over to field researchers on another day during the census period, or by self-completing the electronic form on the Authority website.
The Planning and Statistics Authority confirmed that the field process comes in co-ordination with the Ministry of Public Health in order to ensure the implementation of all precautionary measures in place in the country to combat the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19), indicating that field researchers have received intensive training on precautionary measures to ensure their safety and the safety of community members.
The Authority called on all citizens and residents, including families and individuals, to co-operate with field researchers and to provide accurate and correct data due to its importance in drawing up the state's development policies and plans.
The Authority also confirmed the continuation of the self-filling service for the online form of the census, which is available until Jan. 7, through the link www.psa.gov.qa/census2020.aspx, calling on citizens and residents to fill in their data and the data of their families electronically because of the ease, convenience, speed, accuracy and complete privacy of this method.
