CAIRO - 15 March 2021: The Health Ministry said in a statement that it detected 631 new coronavirus cases nationwide on Monday, upping the total number of confirmed cases to 191,555.

As many as 533 patients were discharged from isolation hospitals after receiving necessary medical care, taking the number of recovered cases to 147,767 so far, the spokesman said.

Egypt has started its vaccination campaign in January, starting with the medical teams at quarantine hospitals, for being on top of priority groups in terms of vaccination.
