The epidemic of coronavirus (Covid 19) spread globally, until it reached Egypt, which developed an urgent confrontation plan, and announced a number of measures to protect citizens and block the way for the Brotherhood, which, as usual, wants to exploit and internationalize all crises politically.

Prevention measures began the week in which HIV cases were discovered on a cruise ship in Luxor, so the cases were isolated according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization.

With the spread of the disease in various governorates, due to contact with cases from abroad, the government appealed to citizens to take preventive measures against the disease and reduce gatherings, but as the circle of cases expanded and the number of cases increased, the government decided to raise its response rate to health recommendations.

In mid-March 2020, the government decided to reduce the number of employees in government institutions by half to reduce crowding and to disable work at schools to protect children and their families, until it reached a partial curfew on citizens and partially closed shops with complete closings of malls and cinemas, preventing weddings, and closing events.

These measures – despite their necessity – would harm the social life of citizens, and stopped the source of income of about 7 million Egyptians and their families working in non-sustainable jobs or daily workers. It was necessary to announce a package of measures to help them.

President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi announced the allocation of 100 billion pounds for measures to confront coronavirus in Egypt, including loans with low interest rates for companies to be able to continue and not lay off workers, in addition to postponing all bank installments and dues to citizens, to facilitate them for a period of 6 months.

The government also decided to open the door to receive requests for irregular employment, to pay compensation to them for being harmed by preventive measures against the disease.

Brotherhood virus

With the testimony of the World Health Organization, Egypt is one of the most serious in dealing with coronavirus, which appeared in the procedures to confront the virus outbreak, but the Brotherhood and its media weapons are trying to create from this situation a great mess, to achieve political purposes without any regard for the value of life and humanity.

The group promotes that Egypt hides on cases of HIV infection, although it did not show a single example of a case that the government denied or received care, and although the health system in Egypt is not comparable to many major countries, doctors and nursing teams are doing their best to control the situation.
