While Egypt’s Supreme Committee for the Management of Coronavirus Crisis lifted some COVID-19 restrictions back in June, there is still talk of reinstating some measures.
The government imposed a ban on unvaccinated employees from entering their workplaces at all government facilities and unvaccinated university students from entering universities as of November 15, as well as banning unvaccinated citizens from entering any government facilities as of December 1.
The government announced that all university students will be required to be vaccinated in order to attend exams at the end of the first semester.
