DUBAI: All measures being implemented to prevent the spread of coronavirus in Egypt would remain in place during the entire month of Ramadan, local daily Egypt Today reported citing Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouli. The measures include a night curfew from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. and the opening shopping malls over the whole week only until 5:00 p.m. Meanwhile, the budget for the new fiscal year will include an article allocating $6.35 billion to raise wages and pensions and the state has been keen to not place extra burden on people amid the coronavirus crisis, Madbouli said in a press conference. Madbouli also said that the government has repatriated more than 1,100 Egyptians from Kuwait over the past two days, as part of the country’s efforts to fly home from its citizens from coronavirus hotspots.
