Workers without Health Card will get Free Covid Care



* What should a worker do if s/he has fever or other symptoms?

If a worker shows symptoms such as coughing, fever or difficulty in breathing, s/he should stay away from others and immediately contact Covid-19 hotline, 16000. In case of an emergency, the worker should request for an ambulance by calling 999.

* What should a worker do if s/he does not have a health card?

During the current crisis, the possession of a health card and/or Qatar ID (QID) is not necessary in order to be tested and/or receive treatment. These services are provided for free by the government.

A worker who tests positive for Covid-19 will be quarantined in centres in the Mukaynis area and provided all necessary medical care, food and lodging for free.
