Doha: The Ministry of Public Health in Qatar has announced that all unvaccinated employees in the country should undergo antigen tests every week. Employees can approach private health care facilities in the country for this. The new decision was announced as the country launched the second phase of unlocking from Friday.
Only people with health problems will be exempted from this rule. Rapid antigen tests were approved for use by the Ministry of Public Health at the end of May, with the price in private healthcare facilities set at QR50.
