Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said on Sunday that the country is seeking to reach zero coronavirus infections by preserving the country’s success in keeping the number of cases down.
Egypt has achieved great success in tackling the crisis, Sisi said, adding that “the crisis was not severe, and the rates [of infection] were levelled out.”
“We must realise that there will be no complacency in dealing with the virus, because this will reflect on society [negatively]. Therefore, the society as citizens, agencies, and the state must […] keep public health not affected […], especially in light of opening the schools in winter,” Sisi said in a televised speech during the inauguration of the fourth phase of the third line of Cairo Metro.
