Egypt’s health minister says country has achieved Covid-19 herd immunity – The National

Egypt’s population of 102 million has reached herd immunity against Covid-19, the country’s acting health minister said.

During a phone-in on a national talk show on Sunday night, Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, who is also the country’s Higher Education Minister, provided an update on Egypt’s pandemic situation.

Dr Mohamed Tag El Din, a prominent health adviser to President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, last month told a TV phone-in that the country was witnessing its sixth wave of Covid-19.
