Doha: The Interior Ministry has stepped up action against those violating Kovid regulations in Qatar. Another 269 people were arrested for violating the law, officials said. Of these, 240 were prosecuted for not wearing masks in public.
During the inspections, 23 people were arrested for not maintaining a safe social distance, five for not having the Ihtiras application on their mobile phones and one for transporting more people than allowed in the car. All were handed over to the prosecution for further action. Home Ministry officials have arrested thousands of people in Qatar so far and handed them over to prosecution for violating Kovid regulations.
It is mandatory to wear a mask when leaving the country. As part of Kovid preventive measures, it is recommended that no more than four people, except one family member, travel in the car. Violations related to not wearing a mask will be dealt with under the Prevention of Infectious Diseases Order No. 17 of 1990.
In this time of the second outbreak of the Kovid epidemic, Asianet News urges everyone to wear masks, sanitize, maintain social distance and be vaccinated. Together we can defeat this epidemic. #BreakTheChain #ANCares #IndiaFightsCorona
