To enter Egypt from September 1, it will be necessary to show a negative PCR test. This was announced by the Prime Minister of Egypt, Mostafa Madbula, Ahram Online reports.
The decision to test travelers was made due to "an increase in the number of infection cases in some countries."
"We are interested in ensuring the health of those arriving in the country and Egyptian citizens, so we have agreed that any traveler arriving in the country must undergo testing." - he said.
The new decision was made a few days after Egypt began to require some travelers, with the exception of Egyptians, to present a negative PCR test for the coronavirus before entering some areas of the country, including Cairo.
As a reminder, foreign tourists are currently allowed to enter only three coastal Egyptian provinces with the lowest rates of coronavirus infection in the country - South Sinai, Red Sea and Matruh.
