Due to the noticeable decrease in the number of coronavirus cases and successful vaccination campaigns in the country, Qatar updated its policy on travel and entry rules. The travel and return policy is a key factor in the successful strategy of the state of Qatar to combat COVID-19 and its consequences. The precautionary measures introduced in Qatar turned out to be effective and contributed to the lowest rates of coronavirus-related deaths in the country.  Content: Country Classification List Standard Health Measures Red-List Health Measures Definitions of fully vaccinated, recovered and unvaccinated travelers Fully Vaccinated Recovered Unvaccinated/Non-immune Country Classification List Previously Qatar's classification divided countries into green, red, and exceptional red.
