CAIRO - 28 September 2020: The Health Ministry said Sunday that 104 new coronavirus cases were detected, upping the total number of confirmed cases to 102,840.


In a statement, Spokesman for the Health Ministry Khaled Megahed said 14 patients have died from the virus over the past 24 hours, raising the death toll to 5,883.


As many as 706 patients were discharged from isolation hospitals after receiving necessary medical care, taking the number of recovered cases to 95,080 so far, the spokesman said.

 

Egypt had witnessed a slight increase in the daily tally of coronavirus cases in the past few weeks, reversing a low of 89 on August 22, the lowest daily infection toll since early April.
 
 
The slight rise in cases comes the government repeatedly urged caution to avoid a second wave of the pandemic, particularly with the advent of autumn.
