Daily cases rose for the fourth consecutive day yesterday to 329, up from 275 the day before and the highest since 30 July.
The total infection tally recorded to 111,613 since the outbreak of the pandemic in February.
This came after Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly warned during the weekly cabinet meeting that the wave currently gripping other countries is “more dangerous and widespread” than the first, and said that “work must be done” to ensure Egypt doesn’t fall into the same situation.
He called on authorities to be more vigilant in cracking down on people caught violating anti-covid precautions and urged people to work from home wherever possible.
