Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) has announced changes to its visitor policy.
Accordingly, no visitors will be allowed at the Communicable Disease Center, Hazm Mebeireek General Hospital, The Cuban Hospital and Mesaieed Hospital from February 12, HMC said in a post on social media Tuesday.
HMC stressed that it "has become necessary to make important changes to our visitor policy" due to the rising number of Covid-19 cases in Qatar.
All other HMC facilities will be available for visitors only between 12noon and 8pm, with one visitor at a time for a maximum period of 15 minutes.
All visitors will be required to wear a mask, show their Ehteraz app and undergo body temperature checks.
"These changes are made for the safety of our patients and visitors. Thank you for your understanding and co-operation," HMC added.
