Egypt's covid crisis has reached a dangerous level, health ministry sources say

Sources in Egypt's Ministry of Health have said that coronavirus in the country has reached a dangerous level due to the government's neglect of precautionary measures. The state has continued to allow parties and festivals and stopped enforcing closing times on shops, reports Al-Araby Al-Jadeed. This mirrors what was said by a senior Egyptian official at the end of August, that in three weeks the number of infections were set to rise significantly.
