Travelers from Egypt to UK might pass self-isolation

ArabFinance: Egypt is expected to be added to the UK’s “travel corridor” list, where travelers from the African country would be exempted from the self-quarantine obligatory requirement, The Sun reported on October 27^th.

Egypt is among countries that could open up by next month, due to its “low numbers and low mortality rate,” The Sun quoted PC Agency's Paul Charles as saying.

Previously, destinations with more than 20 new cases of COVID-19 per 100,000 people registered during seven days would face quarantine restrictions, however, the number has been increased to 100, according to The Sun.

"My understanding is that in light of the increase in infection rates in many countries, the government is looking at things differently when determining whether a country should be added to quarantine or not,” Charles added.

Nearly 107,000 people in Egypt have contracted COVID-19, of which 6,222 passed away, until press time.
