The report cited Tamer Makram, president of the South Sinai Investors Association, as saying that tourist groups had returned to their home countries without recording any infections. Most of the visitors have been from Italy.
Egypt’s Tourism Minister Khaled Al-Anani said that infection rates in the South Sinai, Red Sea and Matrouh governorates — the three areas that were welcoming foreign tourism as a first stage — were lower than in some EU countries.
