This study has an associated pre-print PREreview in https://doi.org/10.5281/z... mentioning that it could "favor segregation and non-equality of people in Qatar".

We do not agree with this comment and could not find the pre-printed pre-reviewed article provided in the link. The value of the risk score was in providing a non-invasive tool for identifying any individual residing in Qatar, who was at higher risk of being infected and should be prioritized for PCR testing. The study is about addressing the actual needs for testing in the population of Qatar.
