  • For people under 50 years of age who are close contacts of confirmed COVID-19 cases.
  • For travelers returning to Qatar who require post-travel COVID-19 tests

    Things to note:

    • Individuals who have a COVID-19 rapid antigen test at one of the 101 authorized private medical facilities in Qatar will have their test results automatically reflected in Ehteraz.
    • The results of rapid antigen tests undertaken at other private medical facilities will not be reflected in Ehteraz.
    • Individuals who test positive will receive an SMS with their positive result status. Then, within 24 hours, they will receive a second SMS with a link to the e-Jaza portal and the Order ID enabling them to download their sick leave certificate.
