It is worth mentioning that, the late legendary actress tested positive for the coronavirus in May, two days before she wrapped up filming for the TV series “Le’bet El Nesyan”.
She was moved to a hospital in Ismailia for treatment, where she spent 46 days before death.
Last week, a source at the hospital revealed that the actress had reportedly been transferred into the intensive care unit (ICU), as her health worsened.
