Egypt is working to bring back home tens of Egyptian travelers stranded by coronavirus on honeymoons in Southeast Asia’s holiday spots, and hundreds of others in different countries around the world, Egypt’s immigration minister said.

 

“The priority for the time being is given to those stranded after travelling for tourism, work or those on honeymoon,” Minister Nabila Makram said in TV comments late Saturday.

 

Some 95 Egyptians travelling on their honeymoons are stranded in the Maldives, 80 in Bali, Indonesia, and many others in Singapore, the minister said.
