We have another quiet morning for Egypt in the foreign press, save for a few stories on covid-19:

  • Egypt will find it harder to contain the spread of covid-19 now that it’s moved to the community transmission stage of the outbreak, with confirmed cases topping 1000, Xinhua reports.
  • Many Egyptians are being hit hard by the economic fallout from the virus, as the vast number of people working in the informal sector cannot afford to stay home and face challenges accessing government support programs, Reuters reports.
