Indians arriving at Egypt are subject to rapid DNA (ID NOW) test irrespective of valid Vaccination Certificate and RT-PCR negative test report that they carry with them. If tested positive, another RT-PCR test would be done by airport quarantine authorities. If the RT-PCR report also is positive, the passengers are sent to a designated hospital for further tests. Then, passengers bound to Egypt and transit passengers will be allowed entry only when the test reports are negative.
This message was put out by Indian Embassy in Egypt. India recently is under close watch on account of the severe second wave of the Covid=-19 pandemic, which is now ebbing out. The government is taking all care to ward off a third wave.
Indian passengers/transit passengers including students are advised to get vaccinated and strictly follow the COVID Protocol guidelines during their travel to avoid undesirable situations.
