Egypt eases restrictions despite surge in virus infections

Stay up to date on the developing stories making headlines.CAIRO -- Egypt on Saturday lifted many restrictions put in place against the coronavirus pandemic, reopening cafes, clubs, gyms and theaters after more than three months of closure, despite a continued upward trend in new infections.

On Friday, the International Monetary Fund approved another $5.2 billion loan for Egypt, to be added to the $2.8 billion the fund had already promised to stave off the pandemic’s worst economic effects. Cafes have been allowed to reopen at only 25% seating capacity, according to Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly.

“People were looking forward to that day,” Reda el-Sayed said, the prayer leader of a mosque in Giza. “They miss the mosques.” Those include the southern part of the Sinai Peninsula, home to the major resort and beach destination of Sharm el Sheikh, the Red Sea resort areas of Hurghada and Marsa Alam, as well as Marsa Matrouh, on the Mediterranean coast.

What did they do? Call trump for advice?

Lots of cases and few deaths suggests it's not a very deadly virus.

Egypt eases restrictions. America eases restrictions. Egypt has the death penalty. America has the death penalty. No point..I'm just typing stuff.

SOME people have to work to eat, starvation is a slow painful death.

Same here. Our fearless peter suggested we stop counting

Go, Egypt. Now stop enforcing masks.

It's the Trump and American 'thing to do'!! 😬😬😬 TrumpNoLeader

Egypt thinks like Trump and his Republican mistresses.

Because their economy can’t take but so much.

Because like us they know but actually admit that most cases don't even know they have it let alone need hospitals or ventilators

Excuse me,, You got a problem with that we can go do some push-ups man. Rather election ago at i n code, Donald Trump betrayed our bolster president should be that else together So here's my point., I never voted to cut Social Security..

Because it's worked out so well in other places?

PRODIGY

Good one...

So that country is as stupid as the US ? Good to know

Free parking for Camels on Hump Day.

The only reason we have people die of the currently 200 cold/flu viruses is because it's too expensive to make 200 vaccines for the world population. Despite having vaccines for the majority of them. So thank u greed for making logistics ur excuse to kill people.

Now do U.S.

WTF is wrong with these fucks?

Ain't that what most countries are doing currently.. . Hellooo have you met USA?
