Egypt’s Ministry of Health on Saturday released the medical insurance plan of the Alexandria Film Festival, which runs from November 7-12, during a press conference held by ministry spokesperson Khaled Megahed in Alexandria. According to Megahed, this insurance plan features preventive measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus within the festival’s activities. Megahed asked people to adhere to the preventive measures to avoid any penalties imposed by state authorities. Several countries have imposed full lockdown measures following a second outbreak of the virus in October, he pointed out. Authorities across Egypt began enforcing the ministerial decree ordering people to wear face masks in public in May.
