Nepalis in Qatar asked to avoid meeting except for emergencies

The Embassy of Nepal in Doha has appealed to all Nepalis working in Qatar to adopt precaution against COVID-19. The embassy’s statement comes after 15 cases of COVID-19 were confirmed in Qatar—a top destination for Nepali migrant workers.

Issuing a notice on Monday, the embassy has asked Nepalis to avoid meetings except for emergency situations and also avoid in person meetings, while asking to establish contacts only through telephone or email by conserving the precautions and sensitivity adopted by the Government of Qatar.

Likewise, provisions have been made for online service delivery so that the service seekers should not have to physically appear at the embassy office. The Embassy has also said that everyone will be notified if any further information was received from the bodies concerned regarding the issue of coronavirus.
