Egypt: 138 new cases of "Corona" and 18 deaths

Yesterday, Monday, the Egyptian Ministry of Health said that it had recorded 138 new cases of Corona virus and 18 deaths, compared to 103 injuries and 19 deaths on Sunday.

"The total number that has been registered in Egypt with the new Corona virus until today, Monday, is 97,478 cases, including 66,817 cases that have been cured and 5280 deaths," Khaled Mujahid, a spokesman for the ministry, said in a statement.

In mid-March, Egypt imposed public isolation measures to combat the outbreak of the virus, including night curfews, banning large public gatherings, and closing restaurants, theaters and cinemas.

Most of these measures have been lifted since late June. With the general isolation restrictions gradually easing, Egypt maintains multiple preventive measures to combat the virus, including imposing the use of masks in public and closed places, public transportation, and maintaining social distancing.
