Country-Specific Information: Qatar has 1,325 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 3 COVID-19 deaths as of April 4, 2020 (Ministry of Public Health).
The government of Qatar has implemented enhanced screening and quarantine measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19, including permitting only Qatari citizens to enter the country. At this time, U.S. citizens may still depart and transit Qatar. However, travelers should be prepared for travel restrictions to be put into effect with little or no advance notice.
