Coronavirus cases on the rise: official

Coronavirus cases are on the rise again, Mohamed Awad Tag Eddin, Advisor to the President of the Republic for Health and Prevention Affairs, said.

The symptoms of the current coronavirus mutant are simple and similar to colds, despite the increase in the rate of infections, Tag Eddin told Al-Hayat Al-Youm program broadcast on the Al-Hayat channel on Thursday evening.

“A large part of the severe cases in the world are due to the lack of respirators and medical monitoring,” he continued.

Patients must take the necessary treatment and follow the doctor’s advice in case of infection, Tag Eddin said.

Most cases of infection with the virus and its variants range between mild and moderate at about 90 percent or 95 percent of the total infections, according to Tag Eddin.

Only 5 percent or 8 percent of cases need hospitalization, he explained.
