However, there has been no reprieve for the 28-year-old star, who again returned a positive result.
Salah will therefore miss Egypt’s upcoming double-header with Togo, while he will be unable to feature for Liverpool in their Premier League clash with Leicester City on 25 November.
His availability for the Champions League meeting with Atalanta on November 28 is also in doubt.
“Egyptian national team and Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has undergone a second test, and results have confirmed that Salah tested positive for covid-19,” a statement released by the EFA said.
“Salah is keeping a high spirit and is not showing any symptoms of the virus.”
