The index of new infections with the Corona virus in Egypt is relatively stable, as on February 20, it reached 600 cases, on February 21, 608, and on February 22, 623.
Mujahid stated that, during the past day, the Ministry of Health monitored 39 new deaths due to the virus, bringing the death toll from the pandemic in the country to the level of 10443 people.
This outcome represents a slight decrease in the number of new deaths caused by the disease, as the country had previously recorded 48 cases on February 20, on February 21, 55, and on February 22, 51.
Mujahid also reported that 500 patients had been discharged from hospitals after recovering, bringing the number of people recovering from the Corona virus in the country to 138,683.
On Tuesday morning, Egypt received 300 thousand doses of the Corona virus vaccine, which was developed by the Chinese company “Sinopharma”, according to the Ministry of Health.
This is the second batch Egypt received from “Sinopharma” after the first shipment, which included 50 thousand doses and was obtained in December.
Egypt also received 50,000 doses of the “AstraZeneca” vaccine in early February, as part of its program to vaccinate health workers.
