Egypt’s covid-19 case and death tally remain “within expectations,” presidential health advisor Mohamed Awad Tag Eldin told Masaa DMC’s Eman El Hosary (watch, runtime: 5:24). Tag Eldin also discussed the planned manufacturing and distribution of remdesivir here in Egypt (which we note in What We’re Tracking Today, above) with El Hosary and Al Kahera Alaan’s Lamees El Hadidi (watch, runtime: 9:19).
