The Qatar Supreme Crisis Management Committee said in a press conference broadcast on state television on Tuesday that Qatar closed a part of the industrial zone in 14 days.

According to the committee, the partial closure of the area came due to concerns about the spread of the Coruna virus.

The committee added that Qatar also decided to close all stores except food stores and pharmacies.

The European Union announced yesterday its intention to close external borders for 30 days in a new attempt to slow the spread of the Corona epidemic.
