DOHA:: Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has revised the list of low risk countries. Uruguay has been added to the list, which has now 41 countries.
“As the State of Qatar continues to implement its travel policies, the list of low-risk countries has been updated based on public health indicators in Qatar and around the world. Changes will come into effect on Tuesday, 1 September,” MoPH said.
Arrivals to Qatar from low-risk countries are required to take a Coronavirus test upon arrival at the airport, and to sign a formal pledge to adhere to quarantine at home for a week. The traveller’s status on the Ehteraz application will be yellow, which means that they are required to quarantine.
After the week has elapsed, a Coronavirus test will be done. If the result is positive, the traveller will be transferred to isolation, and if it is negative, the quarantine period ends and the status on the Ehteraz application will change to green.
The new list of countries are: 1. Brunei Darussalam; 2. Thailand; 3. China; 4. New Zealand; 5. Vietnam; 6. Malaysia; 7. South Korea; 8. Cuba; 9. Hungary; 10. Finland; 11. Latvia; 12. Estonia; 13.
