I was worried I was going to be let down by everyone. You saved the day with your PJ.
That's not bad then. We're trying to force guys sat in Dubai to Bahrain to quarantine for 14 days there, then hop over the border. If I was one of them, I'd laugh and tell HR to **** off.

That being said, if the team in Saudi aren't campaigning for a remote project office in Dubai for the next X Months then there's no hope for us regardless.

Interesting. It's our only route that works at the moment, otherwise we're going to be struggling for somewhere we've got an office to get them in.

A couple of south African guys I work with are in zanzibar right now, going back to Saudi through Doha. And I heard from an ex colleague who's now at BAE that even British people he works with are also going via zanzibar because there's no quarantine restrictions there. Just do your 14 days and that's it.

To be fair, most are here in the office and I think we should leave them here together instead of in multiple hotel rooms.
This is a headache, we've got a few from SA and Zanzibar seems to be the best by far.

Qatar was for a long time the title holder of world's highest COVID cases per head. Bahrain has taken over in the regional field with El Trumpo and bumbling Boris having done sterling work to overtake Qatar recently
