 Now, Egypt's Health Ministry has confirmed 69 new coronavirus cases bringing the total in the country to 283,636. The total number of COVID-19 related deaths has now reached 16,439 nationwide after the ministry announced eight deaths and 898 patients were discharged from quarantine and isolation hospitals, raising Egypt's total number of fully recovered cases to 223,213. Egypt's vaccination campaign that began in January is still working to vaccinate medical staff, people over the age of 40, and those with chronic illnesses, but registration for the jab is open to all. Egypt is currently using China's Sinopharm vaccine in the UK's AstraZeneca or Astro-Oxford vaccine. The Ministry of Health announced that it will soon begin producing Russia's Putnik 5 and Vaxxera.
