Egypt: 206 new cases of "Corona" and 19 deaths
On Wednesday, the Egyptian Ministry of Health said that it had recorded 206 new cases of coronavirus and 19 deaths, compared to 141 infections and 18 deaths on Tuesday.
"The total number that was registered in Egypt with the new Corona virus until today, Wednesday, is 97825 cases, including 68,713 cases that have been cured and 5317 deaths," ministry spokesman Khaled Mujahid 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.
