The Prime Minister and Interior Minister H E Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa Al Thani used his official twitter handle (@KBKAlThani ) for the first time to tweet about the coronavirus crisis.
A rough translation from the Arabic tweet:

“Qatar has mobilized efforts of all to combat the Coronavirus pandemic with strength and firmness to protect our community and country. Our health institutions are standing at the frontline of this battle and our medical cadres are doing their noble duties with courage and are achieving success which will not be complete without your support. Let us support them by adhering to the preventive health guidance and by staying at home at this time.”

The verified account of the Prime Minister shows that the account was created on February 2020, but he tweeted his first tweet around 30 minutes back. 
The followers are growing at a very fast pace and it has reached 2700 as of filing this report.
