CAIRO - 30 July 2020: Egypt is "strongly taking part“ in the efforts to develop a coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine that will shortly be available, said head of the Health Ministry's scientific committee to fight coronavirus.
This comes a month after the Egyptian Drug Authority earlier announced signing a deal with AstraZeneca to supply the country with the Oxford University's vaccine.
In a phone interview with Akher Al-Nahar program on Al Nahar TV, Hossam Hosni urged citizens to stick to the coronavirus preventive measures during Muslim's Eid Al-Adha holiday, including wearing masks, maintaining social distancing and washing hands continuously, in order to avoid a new surge in coronavirus cases.
In Islam, there are two major Eids, namely Eid al-Fitr (Festival of Breaking the Fast) celebrating the end of Ramadan and Eid al-Adha (Festival of Sacrifice) which coincides with the Hajj and commemorates Prophet Abraham's sacrifice of a sheep in place of his son, Ismael.
