Egypt’s Health Ministry on Tuesday confirmed 1,180 new coronavirus cases, bringing the country’s total up to 139,740. The total number of COVID-19-related deaths has now reached 14,033 nationwide, after the ministry announced 61 deaths. And 801 patients were discharged from quarantine at isolation hospitals, raising Egypt’s total number of fully-recovered cases to 178,241. Egypt has banned Tahajjud prayers (night prayers) within mosques, their annexes, and their surroundings, only allowing Tarawih prayers. The Ministry of Health announced last week that it will soon begin producing Russia’s Sputnik V and China’s Sinovac vaccines at Vacsera.
