Earlier this week, MOCI issued social distancing guidelines for retail outlets and also announced an extension for product returns and exchanges.

Apart from that the Ministry also took measures to protect consumers in current times by setting maximum prices for products such as hand sanitizers, wipes and soaps.

Consumers can report any violations of these decisions via the number 16001 or email: infomoci.gov.qa. They can also reach out to the Ministry through its official social media channels.
