Problem: As of late Jan, Qatar government puts the Maldives on the Red List (it was on the Green List before), which means I have to be quarantined during my stopover in Doha (very pointless and expensive).

Plan B: Alternatively, I just booked another flight on Emirates with more expensive fare for sure but I have to depart from MLE on 4th March while I am supposed to check out from the StR on 3rd March. I know booking one more night on 3rd March should be the best (albeit expensive) solution but I would like to wait for a couple of weeks to see if Qatar government would make any changes regarding its quarantine policy or country lists.

Question: Am I allowed to spend a night (check-in: 3rd March, check-out:4th March) at a hotel near Male airport after checking out from the StR on 3rd March and before taking a return flight from MLE on 4th March?

Many thanks in advance...!
