Qatar updated its coronavirus travel guidelines on Wednesday, permitting citizens and residents to travel in and out of the country at any time beginning next month.

As of Aug. 1, travelers arriving from low-risk countries must take a coronavirus test upon landing at the airport and sign a pledge that they will quarantine at home for one week. After the quarantine period ends, travelers will be required to take a second test, which, if positive, will require they be put in isolation.
