Guwahati, June 22 (NKTV): As per latest reports, Qatar will only allow people who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 to attend next year’s World Cup.
Qatar Prime Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa bin Abdulaziz Al Thani informed media persons that while most countries were expected to have vaccinated their citizens, Qatar was still taking measures to ensure a successful event. “We are currently negotiating with a company to provide one million doses of Covid-19 vaccines in order to immunize and vaccinate some of those coming to Qatar” the PM said.
Officials had earlier said they hoped to hold a Covid-free tournament and planned to make vaccinations available to attendees who are not already immunized.
Qatar is presently inoculating its citizens and residents with the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines. It has administered at least 2.8 million doses.
