Egypt raised the state of preparedness in hospitals located in Aswan and other neighboring governorates in Upper Egypt for Egyptian and Sudanese people as well as nationals of other countries evacuated from Sudan.
In a statement on Friday, April 28, the Ministry of Health said its teams are also conducting examinations for the nationals returning from Sudan to test them for infectious diseases.
The medical teams provide the tested individuals’ health monitoring cards for the ministry to check on their health condition throughout the first two weeks of their stay in Egypt.
The ministry has moved 35 people to hospitals following the medical examinations. While 24 cases have left hospitals, 11 others are still receiving treatment, including two in intensive care, the ministry added.
In Aswan and the border areas, the ministry has also taken strict measures to face rodents and disease vectors and has organized training sessions for the medical teams to spot infectious diseases, according to the statement.
