Egypt will establish the mandatory use of masks outside the home, check the temperature of citizens before entering buildings and when taking public transport to contain the spread of SARS-CoV-2, local media highlighted.

According to a plan outlined by the Ministry of Health, which will be implemented soon, at the entrance and exit of shopping centers there will be products for hand disinfection and crowding of people will not be allowed, said Ahram on line.

Although the government announced its plan to gradually reactivate all sectors of the economy - possibly from June 1 -, schools, universities, kindergartens, cinemas, theaters, cafes, gyms, sports and recreational clubs will remain temporarily closed, added the same source.

In addition, in the subway there will be exclusive wagons for the elderly and pregnant women, said the digital portal.

However, tourism will follow other guidelines, since some hotel facilities will be allowed to receive national vacationers if they comply with previously agreed regulations, including operating 25 percent of their accommodation capacity and with the requirements of social distancing. .
