The
Egyptian cabinet dismissed reports schools and universities nationwide will be
closed starting mid-November in anticipation of a second wave of the coronavirus
pandemic.
The education and higher education ministries said education facilities are operating as usual, reported a cabinet statement on Wednesday.
The two ministries told the cabinet they are following daily health reports from nationwide educational facilities in coordination with the related authorities.
All precautionary measures, including sterilization, face masks, and social distancing regulations, are adopted at educational facilities, the statement added.
The current school year started last month under a hybrid system of online and face-to-face classes to limit the density at classrooms and lecture halls.
