Egypt said Friday that non-citizens should test negative for the coronavirus before traveling to the country.
The new regulation, announced by Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly, said arrivals should have a test for the virus no more than 72 hours before traveling.
Egypt confirmed more than 95,000 total cases of the coronavirus and 4,951 deaths as of Friday, according to the country’s health ministry.
Deaths have declined in recent weeks.
Egypt reopened its borders to tourists in July after months of an international flight ban. Foreigners were allowed access to its coastal resort towns, but regulations kept most from Cairo and other urban hotspots where there have been more cases.
