There will be a PCR examination for all travelers coming to the Sultanate through the airport and boarders. There will be also a new mechanism for those coming through the land boarders.

To date, no one has been confirmed to have been re-infected with COVID-19 virus in Oman

Test result may remain positive (i.e. infected) for a very long time and may last up-to 4 months.

We have put in place a mechanism for people who have tested positive yet have finished the quarantine, so that they can travel.
