The Association of Tour Operators of Russia has dismissed reports of a rotavirus outbreak in Egypt, with no increased illness inquiries from travelers. Tourists visiting the region report no signs of mass illness, contradicting claims circulating on social media. The alleged outbreak remains unverified and lacks substantial evidence.
The Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) has refuted claims of a significant rotavirus outbreak in Egypt, emphasizing there has been no increase in illness-related inquiries from travelers. This statement was disseminated via their Telegram channel, indicating that both Euroins Travel Insurance and Coral Travel have not received complaints concerning health issues from tourists.
Additionally, a tourist currently staying in Hurghada has reported no signs of illness, stating, “The third day in Xanadu Makadi Bay — no signs, absolutely happy,” dismissing rumors of mass infections at the resort.
Previously, reports circulated on Telegram suggesting that rotavirus was spreading among Russian tourists at an Egyptian resort, with allegations that many had been hospitalized due to the outbreak. However, no verified evidence has emerged to substantiate these claims, further supported by the absence of reports from relevant travel insurance providers and operators in the region.
In summary, the claims of a widespread rotavirus outbreak in Egypt have been denied by Russian tour operators and insurers. Travelers currently visiting the region report no incidents of mass illness, and the concerns voiced appear to lack credible support. Tourists are advised to remain informed and vigilant but should also consider the reliability of sources reporting such outbreaks.
