Doha, Qatar – More than 200,000 people in Qatar have tested positive for the coronavirus since the start of the pandemic last year.
The country has also reported 428 deaths as of April 26, including 150 in the last 30 days, following a spike in the daily cases and number of casualties.
It has administered more than 1.4 million doses of the vaccine, with just over 19 percent of the population having received both doses, according to officials.
Earlier this month, Qatar announced tighter COVID-19-related restrictions amidst a rising number of cases in the last few weeks.
Al Jazeera spoke to Dr Abdullatif Al Khal, the chair of the National Health Strategic Group on COVID-19 and head of Infectious Diseases at Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) on the reason behind the spike and the authorities’ strategies to minimise the effects of the second wave.
