In these weird times it might be best to get information from the airline, the relevant authorities and the Timatics etc - and go with the strictest interpretation of what's required.

Yes, that well-known, user-friendly IATA website with all the requirements. It took 10 minutes just to enter the data there to get an answer.
Again, that information should be provided by the airline. I don't expect Qatar Airways' website to have the latest correct government information for Lesotho or Monaco. But transit information for Qatar, where I suspect 90% of their customers transit? You Bet!! This is a complete failure of duty to disseminate critical travel information. As much as I have enjoyed your posts over the years Ian, I have to disagree with your sentiment on this one. Qatar Airways should have sent an email. But they don't even have the information on their website if you search under "Travel and entry requirements".
It's a travel requirement, is it not? So why is the information not there?
Please, don't try to make excuses for Qatar Airways here. They have really failed in their duty here, and I WILL be taking them to court if they don't start playing ball.
