As Egypt’s coronavirus death toll inches toward 100, the government has announced a 15-day extension on its nationwide overnight curfew and a ban on public gatherings during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The curfew, which will last through at least April 23, will now begin one hour later, at 8 p.m., and end at 6 a.m., Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly said Wednesday. Under the curfew, Egyptians are to stay indoors but can leave their home for food or other essential reasons.
