Oman will not allow employees in the public or private sectors to enter their workplace without a vaccination certificate that proves they are fully vaccinated, the health minister said in a news conference on Monday. 

The Supreme Committee tasked with tackling developments resulting from coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic in Oman yesterday reaffirmed that vaccination remains as a condition to enter public and private establishments. 

It stressed that all precautionary measures have to be applied: prohibiting people who suffer from pulmonary diseases from entering workplaces and applying all precautionary measures within and outside workplaces, including wearing face masks properly, observing physical distance, keeping the hands clean, avoiding unauthorized assembling and crowdedness and physical greeting like shaking hands and embracing.
