For two weeks beginning March 25, Egypt will impose a nationwide, overnight curfew to combat the novel coronavirus, the government said.
Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly announced in a televised news conference March 24 that from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m., Egyptians are required to stay inside their homes. In addition, malls and stores selling more than basic goods can only remain open until 5 p.m. during the week and must close during the weekend. Restaurants can provide delivery only.
