Egypt's Health Ministry: Relatively Few Covid-19 Cases Are Reported

Relatively few coronavirus infections are being reported in Egypt, according to Egypt's Health Minister.

"The country has reported relatively few cases and deaths," the Health Minister's Spokesman  Khaled Megahd announced on Friday early.

Megahd also indicated that the weekly number of infections in the country has started to decrease.

Although the Egyptian authorities have lifted some of its anti-virus restrictions, including a nighttime curfew, reopening restaurants and places of worship, and resuming regular international flights as part of a plan to coexist with the virus, the country has so far recorded 263606 coronavirus cases, 15136 deaths, and 192823 recoveries, with relatively few daily cases numbers, reported over the past two months.

For the last 24 months, the novel coronavirus has paralyzed Egypt’s economies, devastated the tourism, aviation sectors, and confined nearly ninety-four million people to their homes.
