Commercial shops at Citystars Mall resumed work Tuesday as its other stores remain closed, the Director of Public Relations and Marketing Mourad Nasr said, following prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly’s order to close down shops until April 23. After the mall reopened, Nasr said it barely reached 5,000 visitors – far lower than normal rates of 27,000 people a day before the closure. He ensured that the mall’s administration will prevent crowding, and its staff is committed to following preventive measures such as changing masks and distributing disinfectants at elevators. Egypt on Monday confirmed 125 new coronavirus cases, bringing the country’s number of confirmed total cases so far to 2,190. The total number of COVID-19 deaths has now reached a hundred and sixty-four nationwide, after announcing 5 deaths today.
