Ramadan in the time of covid-19 is the leading theme of the foreign press’ coverage of Egypt this morning. Ramadan mosalsalat are still being filmed, with people working in the industry telling CNN that they can’t stop production due to financial pressures. But the Ramadan vibes aren’t quite the same because of the pandemic, Reuters and the New York Times say in separate pieces.

Also getting attention from the foreign press:

  • A mime has taken to the streets of Cairo to spread covid-19 awareness to children who might not be able to get it online, according to Reuters.
  • The pyramids were emblazoned with a “Stay Home” message on World Heritage Day, AFP highlights in a video (watch, runtime: 00:52).
