Slaughterhouses, which become quite popular during the Eid period, will be under strict supervision. Additional veterinary doctors have been deployed to check on sacrificial animals before and after slaughtering.
While cleaning teams from the Ministry’s General Cleanliness Department will work round-the-clock to ensure hygiene in public places, inspection campaigns have been intensified at food outlets to ensure they obey the rules.
Awareness drives are being held to educate workers at food outlets — especially food handlers — about food safety and hygiene. Inspection campaigns have also been carried out at food outlets, slaughterhouses and meat shops.
Health Control Section is continuing its inspection campaigns on food establishments, markets, meat and poultry and sweets shops in Al Sheehaniya Municipality, to ensure their compliance with health requirements.
Similar inspection drives are taking place in different municipalities including Al Wakrah, Al Shamal, Doha, Umm Salal, Al Khor and Al Dhakira.
The electronic services of the Ministry of Municipality will be available 24 hours to the public.
Meanwhile, people who are planning to visit Panda House Park and Al Khor Family Park can book entry tickets through the Ministry’s Oun app.
