Despite the high incidence of corona .. Egypt opens the public domain and the anger of doctors is escalating again

The Egyptian authorities announced today, Tuesday, the opening of the public domain, including the reopening of places of worship starting next Saturday, after a closure that lasted for more than three months, in the context of easing preventive measures to combat "Corona", a decision that comes despite the high number of HIV infections in the country. .

The Egyptian Prime Minister, Mostafa Madbouly, said, "The cabinet decided to open houses of worship for daily prayers, while continuing to suspend weekly major prayers, as of next Saturday, 27 June."

He added in a conference broadcast by official television, after a cabinet meeting that the council also decided to allow restaurants, cafes, sports clubs, theaters and cinemas to be opened with a capacity of 25%, starting from Saturday.

It was also decided to reopen the hotels by 50% occupancy, with the suspension of the function of the function halls in the places of worship, and the continued closure of parks and beaches for a temporary period (not specified).

The Prime Minister added that the committee also decided to close the shops starting from nine in the evening and restaurants from ten in the evening.

Doctors were angry
about the increase in the number of Coronavirus infections in Egypt, Madbouly said, "Our main concern is that matters do not get out of hand. We cannot do anything with increasing numbers of Coronavirus infections now. This is the nature of any epidemic."

As of Monday evening, Egypt had recorded a total of 56,809 cases of corona, including 2,278 deaths, 15,133 cases of recovery.

On the other hand, the Medical Syndicate in Egypt issued a statement expressing its rejection of the Prime Minister's statements that the inconsistency of some doctors was the cause of the increasing number of deaths, and said that he ignored the real causes of the lack of capabilities, the lack of medical supplies and the severe deficit in the intensive care beds.

The statement considered that these statements would fuel anger against doctors, increase the aggression of patients and their companions on medical teams, and infiltrate frustration to all doctors, stressing that the Prime Minister should apologize for these statements and retract them to prevent fueling congestion.

In the same context, the union announced in its statement that the number of doctors who died due to Corona nearly 100, in addition to injuring 3 thousand others.

Social media pioneers shared a video clip showing a former official of a dead campaign of rebellion and a son with Corona virus - he accused the Egyptian government of trying to hide the true numbers of people who died from the virus by changing the cause of death and that this was what happened to him in the Fakus Hospital for isolation.

And the video was deleted after its spread on the communication sites, while others who posted the video on their page demanded that it be removed for fear of it.

The video, which was widely circulated, shows the former official in a rebellion campaign accusing the hospital of neglect, lack of capabilities and lack of any patient care, and that patients die without receiving the necessary treatment.

Doctors angered
with accusations of medical negligence and the absence of capabilities and medicines in government hospitals. Doctors fear that they will be held responsible, especially after the government held the doctors responsible for the death of the famous YouTuber “Mama Sana.”

This came after the Beheira Governorate page published a statement in which it said that the director of Al-Mabra Hospital and two other doctors were referred to the Public Prosecution Office, on charges of negligence in dealing with the deceased.

Doctors on social media, including Doctor Mona Mina and Doctor Hani Mohanni, considered what happened as a new insult to the medical team in Egypt, and ignored the authorities ’failure to provide the necessary capabilities to face the Corona virus epidemic.

Bloggers said that what is happening to doctors is the government shirking its responsibility towards patients and not taking responsibility for its failure to manage the current crisis.
