Egypt’s Presidential Adviser for Health and Preventive Affairs Mohamed Awad Tag Eddin warned civilians during a Tuesday phone call on the “Extra News” satellite channel to avoid following any coronavirus treatment guides taken from the internet. He stressed that while there is no cure for the virus, its symptoms can be treated. The head of Egypt’s Scientific Committee to Combat Coronavirus, Hossam Hosni, said on Sunday that the coronavirus vaccine will likely need to be taken annually. He further stressed that the vaccine is safe and effective, and called on the public to register for the vaccine. Some countries, such as the UK, he added, are aiming to finish vaccinating their populations by the end of the summer.
