DOHA — Amir HH Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani has directed sending medical aid to the sisterly Federal Republic of Somalia, in support of the efforts of the brothers in Somalia to combat the pandemic of the new coronavirus (COVID-19).

Somalia’s Health Ministry on Sunday confirmed 51 additional cases of COVID-19, bringing the total number of infections to 722.

The latest cases came amid concern about the sharp surge in the number of confirmed cases in Somalia due to the limited capacity to contain the spread of the virus because of the fragile healthcare system.

Somalia has instituted measures to contain the possible spread of COVID-19, including closing schools, banning large gatherings, and suspending international and domestic passenger flights.
