Qatar has re-imposed a raft of restrictions on education, leisure and business activities, including closing indoor swimming pools and theme parks and restricting restaurant capacities.
It is the latest Gulf state to tighten restrictions in recent days in a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus as infections have risen.
Qatari markets should now operate at 50 per cent capacity, weddings not held at home are banned — with guests for weddings at home limited to relatives only — and nurseries should operate at 30 per cent capacity, the health ministry said on Twitter.
The Gulf country reported 407 new cases of Covid infections on Thursday. Daily case numbers have been steadily rising since a one-day December low of 117.
