The Cabinet Media Center denied on Wednesday reports circulated on some social media platforms alleging that extension of curfew hours throughout the country and prompting the closure of banks for two weeks.

The council called on citizens not to be drawn into these rumors, which aim to raise citizens' concerns and shake confidence in the Egyptian economy, stressing that the media center is the only official source of information regarding this matter.

The Ministry’s Council falsified the circulated rumors, pointing out that no decisions has been taken regarding the extension of the curfew hours or the closure of banks in Egypt.

"All banks operate normally according to the announced dates and hours, since the Cabinet decision to apply curfew without any change, and any new decisions will be announced officially," the Cabinet Media Center concluded.
