Qatar Airways requires negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test result, DFA says

The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) advised the public on Sunday that Qatar Airways is now requiring passengers from the Philippines and several other countries to present a negative COVID-19 RT-PCR test result upon check-in.

Passengers without this requirement, which should be accompanied by a consent form, will not be allowed to board Qatar Airway flights.

The DFA said the RT-PCR test should be conducted by laboratories authorized by the airline.

The department advised passengers to check the airline's website for more information. —KG, GMA News
