I don't see why QR would insist on RT-PCR tests. Doha & QR do not require testing for transit thought Doha so it's just the US/CDC requirement that has to be fulfilled. Maybe you should call them and ask? If you are really concerned about it, I would do both tests anyway just in case. You can get the results of an antigen test in a few minutes if you do the test at the Margao hospital. The RT-PCR results generally take under 6 hours, but they've taken ~36 hours for me once.

Has QR resumed their Goa Doha flight?
Thank you very much for your feedback. Yes they have resumed Goa-Doha flight. I will try to find out more details. Plan to do antigen test as of now.
