Salwa Mohamed Aly Contracts Coronavirus

Egyptian actress Salwa Mohamed Aly announced Wednesday that she contracted Coronavirus.

In a statement posted on Facebook, Aly apologized for not being unable to take part in a seminar with the 'Lady of the Arab theater', Samiha Ayoub at the National Theater Festival, which launched days ago.

The actress noted that she is currently in the recovery phase of the virus and will continue to self-isolation in the coming days.

Aly was seen recently in the story “Lazim Aeesh” (I must live) from the TV series “Ela Ana” (except me), which was screened on the “DMC” channel and “Watch iT” platform.

It also starred Jamila Awad, Naglaa Badr, Ahmed Khaled Saleh, Khaled Anwar, Salma Abu Deif, and others. The story is written by Naglaa El-Heddini and directed by Maryam Ahmady.

It is worth mentioning that the novel coronavirus, which was first reported in Wuhan, China, has infected more than 68,165,877 people and killed over 1,557,385 worldwide. It also hit a number of celebrities and top political figures around the world.

On March 11, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared coronavirus a global pandemic as the new virus has rapidly spread to more than 800,000 people from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.

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.
