A state of anxiety prevailed on social networking sites in Egypt, after the Ministry of Health announced the reopening of isolation hospitals due to expectations of a second wave of the virus, despite the daily announcement of the decline in the number of infected people.

Activists launched a tag entitled "The Second Wave" to warn of the dangers of a massive resurgence of the virus, while others questioned the validity of the government's statements about the decline in the number of infections.

In televised statements, Mohamed Talib, director of Al-Nujaila Hospital in the Marsa Matrouh Governorate, northwest of Cairo, said that the hospital reopened according to a decision by Minister of Health Hala Zayed, who directed the allocation of fever and chest hospitals to receive cases of Corona, and general and central hospitals for patients with other diseases.

He confirmed that the isolation hospitals had reopened in preparation for receiving the new cases, adding that the hospital reopened 3 days ago, and it had already received Corona cases, but they were few.

At the end of last June, the Minister of Health decided to exclude Al-Nujaila Hospital from receiving cases of infection with the Coronavirus, and to return it to receive normal sick cases.

In turn, Mohamed Ali, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Health in Matrouh Governorate, said that the decision to reopen the hospital comes after the closure of all isolation sections in all Matrouh hospitals and medical units, indicating that there are about 30 cases now in Nujaila.

Yesterday, Sunday, the Ministry of Health announced the registration of 178 new cases, in addition to 17 new deaths, bringing the number of injured people in Egypt to 95,492, including 52,678 cases that were cured, and 5,009 deaths.

Since the beginning of the spread of the virus in Egypt, activists have questioned the government's figures, especially since at the beginning of the crisis it was confirming that there were no infections in the country, while several countries said that they had discovered infections among their citizens coming from Egypt.

In the same context, Minister of Health Hala Zayed stressed the need to adhere to preventive and precautionary measures, and to follow social distancing measures in anticipation of the increase in the number of Coronavirus infections, especially after the increase in gatherings during Eid Al-Adha.

The minister directed a number of advice that citizens should follow during the current period of anticipation and caution to limit the spread of the virus, by avoiding family gatherings, maintaining social distancing between individuals in public places, and adhering to wearing a mask, while following instructions on how to wear it and safely dispose of it.

Tweeters circulated advice on the preventive measures required in the coming stage, warning against underestimating the virus and relying on the decline in numbers, according to recent government data.

The virus came to stay ... I mean, in short, # Corona continues with us for a long time, or more precisely, until a vaccine or vaccination of its own is provided, and this has not happened yet.

It is not entirely logical that the number of people infected with Corona decreases in this way, and the result of this normal means that it will be a second wave, and this is not the disdain of the people and the lack of awareness of it! This is a lack of awareness of the government and leniency in every need. The second wave

The return of Al-Nujaila Hospital in Matrouh as an isolation hospital after the emergence of 30 cases # Corona, medicine if it is Matrouh with a small population in which there are 30 definitely cases Cairo with a population of over 15 million, the number will be no less than 500, at least known to be the 140th at the level of the Republic, not announced by the Ministry of Health every day?
