On Saturday, the Health Ministry said the average number of daily infections during the past week reached eight cases, while the average daily death toll in the same period reached four new cases.

The ministry’s spokesperson, Hossam Abdel-Ghaffar, said in a statement that the average daily number of people recovering from the coronavirus last week was 20, bringing the total number of recoveries to 445,282.

He added that 34,508,460 people have been fully vaccinated against the coronavirus.
