Starting from Sunday, people arriving in Qatar from countries that are not on its green list will have to quarantine in one of the designated hotels.
“Building on the previously announced return from travel policy to Qatar, it is decided that any previous exemptions from hotel quarantine shall no longer apply for people returning to Qatar from countries not on the green list. This new policy shall apply to all entries and exits from Qatar from Sunday,” the Ministry of Public Health said in a tweet.
The decision also impacts those who have been exempted from hotel quarantine before travelling as well as visitors entering Qatar.
“The Ministry of Public Health also confirms that the existing quarantine policy for travel and return to Qatar for people coming from counties on the Green List will remain in place. The ministry shall keep these decisions under review and update them where appropriate based on public health indicators in Qatar and the rest of the world,” it said.
The Green List, which is published on the MoPH website, currently includes the following 18 countries: Oman, Brunei Darussalam, Thailand, China (A. Hong Kong SAR – China; B. Macau SAR – China), Vietnam, Malaysia, South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Myanmar, Maldives (‘Safe Travel Bubble’ package only), Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Cuba, Mauritius, Iceland and Ireland.
Arrivals from non-green countries need to book their hotel accommodation through the Discover Qatar website before arrival.
