Egypt's Minister of Housing and Urban Utilities Asem El-Gazzar has gone into self-quarantine for 14 days after coming in contact with a person who tested positive for COVID-19.
It is worth mentioning that, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
People across the globe partake in self-isolation as an effective precautionary measure to protect those around them and themselves from contracting COVID-19.
Transmission of virus between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.
It can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose, or eyes.
