What happens if I test positive for COVID in-transit at Doha Airport?
I know that if you test positive at the departure airport, you won't be allowed on the plane. If you test positive at the arrival airport, you will probably be sent to isolation, either at home or somewhere else.
But ... what happens if you test positive at a in-transit airport!? You cannot go home since you have no home and you cannot leave the airport since you have no visa!
In my case specifically, the transit airport will be Doha Airport.. What happens if I test positive there?
Best Answer
You will not end up in this situation, since transiting through Doha does not require taking a PCR test on the spot. Qatar Airways:
Transit through Doha
Passengers who are transiting through Doha, and not leaving the airport, are not required to present any test results or certifications above the requirements of their departure or destination country.
