A flight carrying 240 Egyptians stranded in Washington arrived on Monday at Marsa Alam International Airport.
The exceptional flight was part of state efforts to repatriate Egyptians stranded abroad after international flights were suspended due to the coronavirus (COVID-19).
Dr Tamer Marei, a Ministry of Health deputy for the Red Sea governorate, said all returnees will be quarantined for 14 days at specially designated hotels.
Marei added that the required daily medical examinations, including body temperature measurements, will be carried out in addition to the disinfection and sterilisation of quarantine hotels.
A further four exceptional flights will be operated on Monday to repatriate Egyptians stranded in Saudi Arabia.
On Sunday, Minister of Health Hala Zayed said youth centres and university dormitories across the country have received 6,000 repatriated Egyptians. The facilities also received a further 2,800 coronavirus cases with minor symptoms.
