The Qatar Meteorological Department has issued a public health warning as dust storms are expected to occur across the country in the coming days.

Residents, especially those with respiratory problems, are urged to take necessary precautions to reduce exposure to dusty weather. The warning also states that outdoor activities should be limited and people should stay indoors as much as possible during dust storms.

Authorities recommend wearing masks to reduce the risk of dust entering the lungs. They are also advised to wash their face, nose and mouth frequently. If dust gets into their eyes, the public is advised not to rinse them immediately with water to avoid further irritation.

The Qatar Meteorological Department is monitoring the situation and will provide updates as needed. The ministry has also shared a video with the instructions.
