Thai student in Egypt dies after contracting Covid-19

An official statement published on the embassy’s Facebook page said that on July 24 the embassy was informed that a Thai student aged 26, from Al-Azhar University, was seriously ill and admitted to hospital.
Yesterday, the hospital notified the embassy that the student passed away.
The embassy has urged stranded Thais in that country to remain calm.
Between July 27 and 29, the embassy screened 290 Thai passengers and 35 other reserve passengers for Covid-19. The 290 were set to take a Cairo-Bangkok flight back home.
Six did not pass the screening and a responsible organisation was called in to take care of them while the embassy was temporarily closed for sanitisation.
