Egypt’s Health Ministry on Wednesday confirmed 1,011 new coronavirus cases, 51 deaths and 643 recovered cases. The country has now reported 225,528 confirmed cases, 169,308 recovered cases, and 13,219 deaths. Egypt’s Presidential Adviser for Health Affairs Mohamed Awad Tageldin warned that coronavirus cases across the nation are seeing a continuous increase, and entire families have become infected after failing to follow precautionary measures. The Ministry of Health announced last week that it will soon begin producing Russia’s Sputnik V and China’s Sinovac vaccines at Vacsera. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi himself has received the coronavirus vaccine to assure the public of the vaccine’s safety and efficiency.
