It means all UK arrivals in Qatar, including those fully vaccinated against Covid-19, will be required to quarantine on arrival – two days for those who are fully vaccinated and a full week for those that aren’t.
They will also have to present evidence of a negative PCR test for Covid-19 taken in the 72 hours prior to arrival in Qatar. Among those joining the UK on Qatar’s red list are the Russia, Turkey and the UAE.
It comes after Morocco banned direct flights from the UK, Germany and the Netherlands last months due to similar concerns over high rates of Covid infection; a new wave of cases has already triggered fresh lockdowns in Austria and the Netherlands.
