Sa bagong functionality ng Ehteraz Portal, maaari ng mag-apply ang mga residente o citizens ng Qatar na nabakunahan sa ibang bansa na maaprubahan ang kanilang bakuna at mag-reflect ito bilang golden frame sa kanilang mga Ehteraz app, ayon sa Ministry of Public Health (MoPH). Ang mga COVID-19 vaccination certificates na uploaded sa portal ay sisiyasatin at susuriin ng MoPH, at tanging ang mga certificates na valid lamang ang tatanggapin at magre-reflect sa Ehteraz app. Dagdag pa ng MoPH, ang mga bakuna sa ibang bansa ay may katulad na validity criteria na susundin, tulad ng mga nabakunahan sa Qatar at susunod din sa katulad na mga regulasyon at pribelihiyo para sa mga fully at conditionally approved na mga bakuna. Samantala, nananatiling walang pagbabago sa proseso na ipinapatupad para sa mga bibisita sa Qatar at kailangang sumunod pa rin sa mga dating protocols para sa pagbyahe sa bansa.

Doha (26/1/2022). The Search and Follow Up Dept. and Unified Services Dept. under the Ministry of Interior called upon the violators of the provisions of Law No. (21) for the year 2015, regulating the entry and exit of expatriates and their residence, to utilize the grace period for correcting their status as early as possible before its ending on 31st March 2022. Speaking to the media representatives at the headquarters of the Search and Follow Up Department today evening, grace period officers Capt. Kamal Tahir Al Tairi from the Search and Follow Up Dept. and Capt. Muhammed Ali Al Rashid from the Unified Services Dept. said that the Ministry of Interior has extended the grace period announced from 10th October to 31st December 2021 to 31st March 2022, as part of its keenness to consider the interests of company owners and expatriate workers, to benefit from the 50% reduction in the violation settlement amount. The Ministry has provided all facilities for the violators to correct their legal status while they are inside the country by transferring from one employer to another or by leaving the country on their own interest with exempting them from all consequences of legal responsibility, they added. Guidelines for Taking Advantage of Grace Period Capt. Kamal urged the residency law violators to benefit from the advantages granted during the period and cooperate with the competent authorities in implementing the prescribed legal procedures and not to delay or procrastinate in completing the procedures in advance. He also called upon the persons whose status has not been legalized by changing the employer during the given period due to the failure to obtain approval from the competent authority because of not meeting the required legal conditions; to contact the relevant authorities, to complete their procedures in accordance with the provisions of the law, as the purpose of their stay in the country has ended, in order to leave the country soon and take the advantage of the facilities granted during this period before its expiry and return again to the country according to the procedures and conditions established by law. He also urged the persons wishing to leave the country upon their interest during the grace period, to adhere to the precautionary measures related to the travel policy of the destination country when leaving the country, as there were some problems related to vaccination and quarantine specified at the intended travel destination and also to follow the time limit of ten days from the date of issuing the travel permit, set for travel by the Search and Follow-up Department when completing the departure procedures. For those who wish to leave the country, approaching the Search and Follow Up Department early as possible before ending of the grace period on 31st March is very important to avoid delays in their transactions due to the possibility of some restrictions imposed against them without their knowledge that may prevent their travel, so that they can settle it and leave without hindrance within the prescribed period, the grace period officer added. Services Rendered by the Search and Follow Up Department Speaking on the features of the Grace Period, Capt. Al Tairi said that the current grace period is distinctive from the previous one as it gives the opportunity for the violators for correcting their legal status by allowing them to change the employer in accordance with the regulations recognized by the competent authority, and exempting 50% of the fines imposed on them. In addition to this, it also exempts violating expatriates who wish to leave the country on their own interest from legal responsibility. “The role of the Search and Follow Up Department is limited to ensuring the departure of the violating expatriates who wish to leave the country voluntarily, in a humane manner. It reflects the pioneering role of the State of Qatar in the field of human rights. The departure of violating expats is secured by exempting them from the fines incurred by them and without bearing any responsibility, and their transaction is completed as quickly and smoothly as possible without any delay,” said the grace period officer Capt.

Sa post ng Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) sa kanilang website ngayong araw, sinabi nito na ang mandatory period para sa isolation at sick leave para sa kumpirmadong kaso ng COVID-19 ay ibinaba na lamang sa 7 araw, mula sa dating 10 araw. ​ Ang isang indibidwal na nagpositibo sa COVID-19 test na ginawa sa medical facilities at kung saan ang Ehteraz ay nagkulay pula, ay awtomatikong magiging eligible para sa 7 araw na sick-leave, dahil na rin sa mandatory na isolation sa loob din ng 7 araw. Ang mga nasabing indibidwal ay kailangang magkaroon ng rapid antigen test sa awtorisadong medical facility sa ika-pitong araw. Kapag ang resulta ay negative, ang kanyang Ehteraz status ay papalit sa green, at maaari na siyang lumabas sa kanyang isolation at bumalik sa trabaho sa ika-walong araw. Samantala, kung positive ang resulta sa ika-pitong araw nyang rapid antigen test, ang nasabing indibidwal ay kailangang manatili sa kanyang isolation sa loob pa ng 3 araw, at bibigyan din ng 3 araw pa na sick leave, at maaari ng lumabas sa isolation sa ika-11 na araw, ng di na kakailanganin pang magkaroon ng panghuling test. Sinabi pa ng MoPH na ang desisyon upang ibaba ang isolation period ay ginawa matapos ang pagsusuri sa pinakahuling lokal at internasyonal na mga clinical evidences na nagpapakita na karamihan sa mga taong nahawa ng COVID-19 ay magiging negative na ang resulta sa ika-7 araw, at maliit na rin ang tsansa na makahawa ng virus sa iba. Binigyang diin din ng MoPH na kinakailangang sumunod ang mga tao sa itinakdang precautionary measures sa pagtatapos ng kanilang isolation period, kasama na rito ang patuloy na pagsusuot ng face mask, pagsunod sa social distancing, at palaging paghuhugas ng kamay.
