As cleared in the above chart, around 67%of the total infected people come in the age group of 19 to 40 years of age. To further break it, 35% of the cases come from people in the age group 31 years to 40 years while 32.3% cases come from 19 to 30 years. Both these age groups can be considered as younger groups and to understand that, the report cites a different report. As per the population figures of March 2029 by the Ministry of Development Planning and Statistics, around 73% of the total population of Qatar falls in the age group of 25-64 years of age and hence the number of cases in the bracket of 19-40 years can be justified.
