Gradual lifting of restrictions begins June 15

Spokesperson of the Supreme Committee for Crisis Management said that the 1st stage of the gradual lifting of restrictions begins June 15, the 2nd stage begins first of July, the 3rd stage begins on first of August, while the 4th and final stage begins on first of September. #QNA

— Qatar News Agency (@QNAEnglish) June 8, 2020

  It is very dissapointing .
 And many things are not clear .

  Residents can return  from August  with the condition that they spend two weeks in a isolation hotel .They have to pay for it .

 CLARIFICATION : HE AlKhater said whoever travels outside Doha now will have to - upon returning to Doha - go for hotel quarantine at his/her own expense, stressing that it is not recommended to travel at this stage except for the most urgent necessity only, the official Qatar News Agency (QNA) reported.

___________________

Health clubs can only open from  August . We got a yearly memberhsip - if they open only in August it means we lost  5 months . And there is no sign that we could get compensation .

______________________

 Metros will be closed until September . :(  : ( : (

  At the end of April we read that the lifting of restrictions will be within one month gradually  what I expected was that most things repopen  by mid - July .

NOT CLEAR THINGS

"Trips outside Qatar in cases of extreme necessity and everyone who returns to Doha will be subjected to hotel quarantine on their personal expense for full two weeks."

 Is it about the Qatari citizens ?  I thought residents were free to go out .

 How much does  the  hotel quarantine cost ?  What is extreme necesseity ? 

CLARIFICATION  it is not recommended to travel at this stage 

 - BUT if I understand it well - it is not forbidden 

 It is not about me first of all ! It is about my kids . No metro , no library - some parks in 46 C or more . No swimming .  Everything is  !No - no -no !

 At the same time we see that Europe reopens - neighbouring countries reopen . Qatar  remains very strict .

Shopping only with smart phone in Qatar - show you green status on 'Ehteraz App'

In the light of the spread of Corona Virus, and according
to the precautionary measures we have taken to ensure a safer shopping experience, please note that the customers without 'Ehteraz App' will not be allowed to enter the premise.#Ehteraz @MOPHQatar @MonoprixQatar pic.twitter.com/oPAUoZ1nwv

— Monoprix Qatar (@MonoprixQatar) June 3, 2020

 Now how do I feel about it ?

 Terrible  .

 For many reasons a lots of people may not have a mobile / can not download the app  - it is linked to Qatari ID . Visitors / illegal  workers / people who can not afford a mobile  / people  who can not handle a smart phone  are all excluded from shopping personally now .



 For a large crowd in Qatar there is only the online shopping now . It is unpredictable - many supermarket shows " busy " all the day  or you have to wait  the whole day for your grocery would arrive .


 Nobody will die of hunger because the small shops " dukhans " deliver quickly - you can order by phone . But their selection of food is poor .  I am sad when thinking about  all this situation here .
