Cairo: The Coronavirus case reported every day Egypt has exceeded 400 for the first time in a few months.
The Ministry of Health on Friday reported 413 cases and 12 deaths for the past 24 hours.
Daily cases have been spiking in recent weeks because the more contagious Delta variants detected in the country in July.
The latest increase is worried about Egyptian authorities because schools are scheduled to open their doors for face-to-face classes next week.
Egypt, the most populous country in the Arab world with 100 million people, has reported 291,585 cases including 16,836 deaths from a pandemic.
However, the actual amount is believed to be much higher because health authorities have carried out limited testing.
