A massive rotavirus outbreak in Egypt has been denied by Russian tour operators and insurers. There have been no significant reports from travelers or companies, including Euroins Travel Insurance and Coral Travel. Tourist accounts also negate claims of widespread illness.
The Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) reported that there has not been a significant increase in rotavirus inquiries from travelers in Egypt. Tour operators and insurance companies such as Euroins Travel Insurance and Coral Travel indicated they had not received any complaints or reports about travelers being affected by rotavirus.
A tourist currently visiting Hurghada refuted claims of a rotavirus outbreak at the resort, stating, “The third day in Xanadu Makadi Bay — no signs, absolutely happy,” as she shared her positive experience.
Prior to this, there were allegations circulating on Telegram about a rotavirus outbreak in Egypt, suggesting that numerous Russian tourists had fallen ill and required hospitalization. However, these claims remain unsubstantiated based on current evidence from tour operators and traveler accounts.
The report clarifies that claims of a widespread rotavirus outbreak in Egypt have not been supported by evidence from reputable sources, including tour operators and insurance providers. Travelers currently in the region report no issues, countering the narrative of mass illness. Therefore, the situation appears to be stable with no confirmed cases of rotavirus affecting tourists.
