The Ministry of Health issued yesterday a Statement No. 11 to apply quarantine to people arriving from Egypt due to fresh data on the regional and global (pandemic) outbreak of Coronavirus (Covid-19)

The Ministry confirmed that it will apply either institutional or home quarantine to people arriving from Egypt with effect from that date of this statement.

Travelers who arrived in the Sultanate from Egypt 14 days ago should call the Health Ministry’s Contact Number, in case they experience any respiratory symptoms, and apply self-quarantine at their own homes, said the Ministry in its statement.

The Ministry urges all citizens and residents to apply quarantine procedures, take information from their official source, ignore rumors and call the Health Ministry’s Contact No. 24441999, if needed.
