MUSCAT: Indian expats returning home from Oman may seek exemption from 14-day institutional quarantine by submitting a negative RT- PCR test report on arrival from August 8 onwards.
The move came with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare guidelines for international arrivals issued on Sunday in supersession of the earlier guidelines issued in May.
According to the guidelines, those traveling to India should do the PCR test 96 hrs prior to the journey and the test report should be uploaded on the portal for consideration.
