Senior Egyptian medical adviser announces sixth wave of Covid-19 – The National

Covid-19 infections in Egypt are back on the rise, experts have warned, as three of Cairo's largest hospitals have begun receiving severe cases.

The Health Ministry had ended its weekly Covid-19 update at the end of April, amid a drop in new daily infections and deaths.

Restrictions had also been eased, with Egypt’s ports of entry lifting all coronavirus measures in June — including requirements for masks to be worn and for negative PCR tests.
