Qatar: All Travelers from China Must Submit Negative COVID-19 PCR Test

The Ministry of Public Health in Qatar said that all passengers from China must submit a negative Covid-19 PCR test result at the check-in counter. The PCR test must be taken within 48 hours of departure regardless of vaccination status from 6pm on Tuesday, January 3, 2023.

The ministry said its a temporary change to safeguard passengers against the virus, since China is currently experiencing a Covid wave.
