Following weeks of a steady decrease in Covid-19 cases, Qatar’s health authorities have released a new list of updates to ease pandemic restrictions, effective Thursday.

With these modifications, the Ministry of Public Health aims to make it easier for travellers to leave and enter the country while adhering to all measures designed to stop Covid-19 from spreading among the community.

The changes come less than three months from kick-off for the much-awaited World Cup, which is expected to bring over a million visitors to Qatar for the first ever Middle East edition of the FIFA tournament.
