The Supreme Committee tasked with handling the developments resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic held a meeting on Sunday under the chairmanship of Sayyid Hamoud bin Faisal al Busaidy, Minister of Interior.

The Supreme Committee reviewed a paper presented by the Ministry of Health regarding the conditions for entering the Sultanate.

The Supreme Committee approved that the passengers entering the Sultanate through all border ports should obtain a PCR coronavirus test of no more than 96 hours prior to entering the Sultanate. Passengers should also undergo the same test upon arrival in the Sultanate and a 7-day quarantine as well as a PCR test to be conducted on the eighth day.
