The Minister of Health has decided to cancel mandatory H1N1 testing at airports and other points of entry. According to Ministry spokesman Addel Rahman Shahin, all passengers who were quarantined for "swine flue" symptoms so far proved to be only minor illnesses.

Due to passengers showing considerable annoyance by the testing, (which no longer made sense since the virus had already spread in Egypt) where over 14,000 infections and 195 fatalities has occurred to date.

This incursion of human rights onto holidaymakers and property owners alike had a major impact on visitor numbers through 2009. Let us hope the authorities think very carefully before more incompetence and ignorance is delivered onto our valuable clientelle in 2010.
