Egypt's Ministry of Health has also started issuing "health monitoring cards" to travelers arriving from China at the Cairo International Airport, the head of the Preventive Medicine Sector at Egypt's Ministry of Health Alaa Eid said on Monday, as China discourages its citizens from traveling abroad amid the ongoing outbreak..
