Doha: Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) will open a new drive-through Covid-19 testing centre in Lusail. 

The new centre is only for drive-through PCR test and is located opposite Lusail Circuit and will begin operation from tomorrow, Thursday, January 6, at 4 pm.

The new 10-lane testing center will provide only PCR test and not Rapid Antigen test, which PHCC will continue to provide.

The Ministry indicated that the Lusail center can conduct nasal swabs for up to 5,000 people per day and will work throughout the week from 8am until 10pm, and it will continue to work as a center for PCR examination services as long as the demand for these examinations remains exceptionally high because of the omicron wave.
