Presidential Advisor
Presidential Advisor for Health Affairs Mohamed Tag El-Din said seven field hospitals are ready to receive coronavirus patients if required, denying any shortage in beds allocated for coronavirus patients.
Egypt reported 1,418 new coronavirus cases on December 31, the highest daily count since July 3. Cases then started to decrease until reaching 512 cases on Thursday.
The government is reviewing all relevant procedures in order to protect people and economy, he told Hadrat Al-Mowaten program on Al-Hadath Al-Youm channel.
“When we reach a fixed number within several days, the numbers will start to decrease and we will know that we passed the peak of the crisis.”
The number of coronavirus cases in Egypt is high but does not constitute a high risk as the curve grows “horizontally.”
