Mesures prises: The worker reporting alerted the authorities on Twitter but they did not take action. It was impossible for the workers to report anonymously to the labour ministry. The Resource Centre contacted Certis, its holding company Temasek and real estate client Msheireb Properties, receiving responses from Certis and Msheireb Properties. In May 2021, Noah/Malcolm Bidali was arrested by the Qatari authority, ostensibly because of his activism. He has been released and charged with spreading disinformation and receiving payments from a "foreign agent".

We share three separate experiences of migrants in Qatar under differing circumstances and at different points in time. First, accounts from workers isolated in their accommodation after exposure to colleagues who had tested positive; second, a video and short explanation from a domestic worker who returned from a holiday and had to go through mandatory quarantine paid for by her employer. And finally, the experience of a worker who tested positive and was sent to institutional quarantine. Names have been changed to protect their identity.
