The average of the daily new coronavirus cases stood at 89 during the past week, while deaths registered 6, said the Health Ministry said.
In a statement, Spokesman for the Health Ministry Hossam Abdel Ghaffar said the daily average of recoveries recorded 100, bringing the total number of recoveries to 444,703.
Meanwhile, the total number of vaccinated people hit 34,730,986.
Earlier this month, the ministry said the rates of daily coronavirus vaccination during the holy month of Ramadan has come between 100,000 and 150,000 daily doses.
The Cabinet has announced easing coronavirus restrictions in mosques during the holy month, including lifting a two-year-ban on Ramadan charity banquets known as “Mawaid Al-Rahman” where poor people gather in streets around huge tables of cooked food.
On 14 April, Egypt’s Qena governorate has been declared free from coronavirus for the first time since the outbreak of the virus in March 2022, said the Ministry of Health and Population in a statement.
The ministry added that all the PCR samples for suspected cases or travelers in the governorate tested negative for the virus over the past 15 days.
The ministry attributed the reason to
the high vaccination rates and booster doses given to citizens. He added that
medical teams across the governorate’s hospitals commit to their national duty
to deliver the vaccine to all citizens.
