Egypt’s Minister of Health and Population Hala Zayed said that a fourth wave of coronavirus will likely hit Egypt at the end of September or beginning of October, if at all. Egypt’s Health and Population Ministry reported on Monday the lowest COVID-19 death count since the outbreak of the virus over a year ago. The total number of deaths since the outbreak of the virus has now reached 16,403 cases. The Ministry of Health has announced that it will soon begin producing Russia’s Sputnik V alongside Sinovac at VACSERA. Egypt expects to receive, within days, two million doses of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccine, followed by doses of Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine.
