Qatar will further ease coronavirus-related restrictions on Wednesday, the government announced yesterday, citing the “weakening amount of virus cases.”

The Supreme Committee for Crisis Management announced that mosques will continue to reopen on July 1 to limited numbers of worshippers, and that parks, beaches and boardwalks can have pedestrian traffic. Gatherings will be allowed of five people maximum, which is reduced from the previous 10, and people can go on boats with up to 10 people. Offices can work with 50% of their employees, and restaurants, libraries and museums can reopen at a “limited” capacity, according to a press release.
