The Egyptian Ministry of
Health and Population announced Saturday that the average number of daily
infections with COVID-19 during the last week reached five cases, while the
average daily death toll was three new cases.
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Health and Population, Hossam Abdel-Ghaffar, said in a statement that the average daily number of people recovering from coronavirus last week reached 21 – bringing the total number of people recovering from the virus so far to 445,430.
And the number of people fully vaccinated against the coronavirus is now up to 34,709,848 people.
The Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population has made its report on infections, deaths and recovery from COVID-19 to be at the beginning of each week instead of daily.
This move follows the recession of the fifth wave of the pandemic and the decline in infection rates at almost constant rates for two consecutive weeks in addition to the decrease in hospitalization rates, the statement said.
