<\/a> Expect daily covid-19 infections to continue rising in Egypt through the end of <\/strong>Ramadan<\/strong>, as the third wave has yet to hit its peak, House Health Committee head and former health minister Ashraf Hatem said, according to El Watan<\/a>. University hospitals are facing an influx of covid-19 patients but aren\u2019t facing any shortages in meds or equipment, Hatem said<\/a>. Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly and President Abdel Fattah El Sisi each issued warnings last month that Ramadan would likely see a jump<\/a> in covid-19 cases.<\/p>\n

Our vaccination program could get a leg up with additional funding and resources<\/strong> after the president ordered his government yesterday to provide the funding needed to ramp up imports and begin locally manufacturing covid-19 jabs, according to an Ittihadiya statement<\/a>. Procedures are currently \u201cunderway\u201d<\/a> to begin manufacturing China\u2019s Sinovac vaccine in Egypt through state-owned Vacsera, along with Pharco\u2019s BioGeneric Pharma and Eva Pharma, Health Minister Hala Zayed said at the end of last week.<\/p>\n

Religious services will be suspended for three weeks at churches in Beni Suef and <\/strong>Bahnasa, including during the upcoming Holy Week (which includes Easter Sunday) due to concerns over covid-19, the Coptic Orthodox Diocese of Beni Suef said in a statement<\/a>. The suspension of services, which came into effect last Saturday, bans limited masses held by priests and deacons.<\/p>\n

The Health Ministry <\/strong>reported<\/a><\/strong> 850 new covid-19 infections yesterday<\/strong>, up from 845 the day before. Egypt has now disclosed a total of 216,334 confirmed cases of covid-19. The ministry also reported 44 new deaths, bringing the country\u2019s total death toll to 12,738.<\/p>\n
