The makers of "Enta Aqwa" operetta, including the technicians, producers, workers, performers, El Adl Group family, and the directing crew, took coronavirus prevention and control measures before recording the song inside Egyptian superstar Tamer Hosny's studio.

The operetta features a group of Egypt and Arab world prominent singers, which are headlined by “The King” Mohamed Mounir, Tamer Hosny, Diva Samira Said, Carole Samaha, Wael Jassar, and Saber Rebaï, who are donating their wages to the families of the coronavirus victims.

Enta Aqwa is by the lyrics of Dr. Medhat El-Adl, composed by Amr Mostafa, distributed by Nader Hamdi, and Palestinian-American film director, Tarek Al Eryan, will direct the operetta.

The operetta is sending a humanity message in an attempt to uplift people's spirits amid the coronavirus pandemic.

It is reported that a number of doctors and nurses will participate in the operetta, which will be broadcast on all channels at the same time.

Rumors about Amr Diab participating in the operetta are widely circulated, however, a close source to the megastar denied the news, according to An-Nahar Lebanese newspaper.

“El hadaba has nothing to do with the operetta, and did not record any new song.” the source revealed.

It is worth mentioning that the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic on March 11 as the new virus has rapidly spread to more people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.

The novel coronavirus, which was first reported in Wuhan, China, has infected more than one million people and killed over 120,567 worldwide. It also hit a number of celebrities and top political figures around the world.

Transmission of viruses between humans happens when someone comes into contact with an infected person’s secretions, such as droplets in a cough.

They can also be transmitted by coming into contact with something an infected person has touched and then touching your mouth, nose or eyes.

It is known that older people appear to be more vulnerable to the effects of the emerging virus.

Several Arab countries have tightened restrictions on movement and travel, with the aim of curbing the spread of the Coronavirus, and some have pledged billions of dollars in economic stimulus programs to reduce the economic repercussions of the crisis.

The virus caused complete paralysis in all activities and events with large gatherings worldwide due to concerns over the spread of the virus.
