Egypt has barred officials and students not vaccinated against Covid-19 from government offices and universities unless they show a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test, reports AFP.
Officials who have not had a jab must show a PCR test, which is prohibitively expensive in Egypt, “every three days to access their workplace”, the tourism and antiquities ministry said after a government order was issued.
The same rules apply for students to access universities, state newspaper Al-Ahram said.
The North African nation said the restrictions will be extended from December 1 to apply to all Egyptians.
