Requirements and controls for entering Egypt will be amended through quarantine departments at airports, seaports, and land crossings starting Saturday, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research and acting Minister of Health and Population, Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, announced. The step comes in light of the developments in the epidemiological situation of the coronavirus globally, he added. If the traveler tests positive in an Antigen test is that they will self-isolate for five days in the residence hotel, and a PCR test will be conducted on the sixth day. Abdel Ghaffar stated that the ID NOW COVID-19 test has been suspended for people coming from the countries of South Africa, Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and Eswatini. If they test positive, an ID NOW test will be conducted to confirm the Antigen test result.
