The COVID-19 test must be negative in order for football fans traveling to Qatar for the World Cup, which will begin on November 20, to be allowed entry, according to the organizers.

Every visitor who is older than 18 must also download Ehteraz, a government-run phone app that tracks contacts' whereabouts and infection status.

A green Ehteraz is necessary to enter any public, enclosed venues, according to a statement from World Cup organizers released on Thursday. This shows that the user does not have a confirmed case of COVID-19.

Visitors visiting Qatar will need to present a negative result from a PCR test done within the last 48 hours or from an authorised quick test taken within the previous 24 hours in order to enter the nation.

The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy stated that visitors six years of age and older must submit to testing "regardless of the individual's immunization status."

The 1.2 million visitors anticipated in Qatar for the sporting event, which finishes on December 18, are exempt from vaccination requirements. Quarantine is not required.

Rapid antigen tests completed within the preceding 24 hours of arrival in Qatar will only be recognized if they come from authorized medical facilities and were not self-administered, according to the organizers. If no COVID-19 symptoms appear in spectators in Qatar, no more testing is necessary.

On public transportation, including the metro system that many spectators are anticipated to use to access the eight stadiums in and around the capital city of Doha, masks are required.

According to statistics obtained since 2020 by Johns Hopkins University in the United States, Qatar has reported approximately 450,000 verified cases of COVID-19 and 682 deaths from the illness.

The findings show that more than 97 percent of Qatar's estimated 2.5 million people, 350,000 of whom are Qatari residents, have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 while visiting the nation "shall be compelled to isolate in accordance with Ministry of Public Health requirements," according to World Cup organizers.
