Is Fsikh ally with Corona? Egyptian sarcasm after the loss of joy Sham Sham al-Naseem

In a move that may spoil the Egyptians' delight in the historical celebrations, the authorities announced a complete closure of parks, gardens and beaches during the celebration of Sham El-Nessim Day, which falls next Monday, in order to limit the spread of the Corona virus.

This came during the video meeting of Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly with the conservatives on Wednesday. 

This comes amid exchanging jokes between the tweets about the corona virus's relationship with Egyptian customs and traditions on the day of smelling the breeze, especially with regard to eating salted fish such as herring and fesikh.

The Egyptian Prime Minister, Mostafa Madbouly, said he had instructed the governors to completely close - without compromise - any public parks, parks, or beaches during the celebrations of Sham El-Nessim. It is the Egyptian Spring Festival, which falls on Monday, April 20.

Madbouly called - in a statement - to close any places that might witness clusters, to tighten follow-up in coastal provinces, or that have Nile boats, as well as public squares that have green areas, and to deter any attempt to violate decisions taken with the utmost force, in cooperation with security directorates.

Egypt imposes a curfew at night, and schools and universities have been closed as part of its efforts to combat the virus outbreak.

This comes with the increase in the number of people infected with Coronavirus in Egypt to 2505 cases, of whom 553 have recovered, have been discharged from isolation hospitals, and 183 deaths, according to official data that activists on the communication sites question, and they suggest that the infections may be much more.

The coming week will witness famous Egyptian annual celebrations, as Christians celebrate the Day of Resurrection (the largest Christian holidays) next Sunday, and the celebration of the Day of Sham El-Nessim will take place on the following day.

The Egyptians used to go out to the gardens and parks on the day of Sham El-Nessim, which was celebrated since the Pharaonic era, and this day is well-known for the Egyptians eating salted fish such as fish and herring, which doctors warn of annual poisoning because of them, and children color the boiled eggs, in addition to Exchanging visits between family and friends.

In anticipation of the Egyptians going heavily to public parks, lawmakers and media called for a comprehensive ban on the day of Sham El-Nessim for fear of spreading the infection due to overcrowding.

While Egyptians, as usual, mocked the corona virus's association with the day of smelling the breeze, especially with the eating habits of herring and herring, and large quantities of onions, lemons, and fresh vegetables.
