Overview

Cross-sectional study assessed IPC compliance and training gaps among workers at Egyptian airports, highlighting areas for improvement.

Key Points

  • IPC compliance levels were rated as advanced (≥76%) at all five Egyptian airports despite some gaps.
  • The highest scores in IPC guidelines were at 98.5%, while training and equipment provision showed intermediate compliance.
  • A cross-sectional study utilized a validated questionnaire to evaluate knowledge among 160 quarantine workers across several airports.
  • Addressing training shortfalls and provision of protective equipment is crucial for effective IPC at points of entry.
