The COVID-19 pandemic in Qatar was a part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The virus was confirmed to have reached Qatar on 27 February 2020.^[2]

As of the 12th of September 2022, a total of 3,904,273 people have been tested in the country.^[3]

The reported number of deaths in Qatar has been low relative to the number of reported cases, which may be in part due to the country's adequate healthcare system and the fact that a high proportion of residents are young and healthy.^[4] However, Qatar throughout the pandemic has used much strict protocols since the country hosted the 2022 FIFA World Cup.^[5]
