The newly detected cases were discovered through the ministry’s investigation and contact tracing protocols, Megahed added.

The government has decided to shorten the nighttime curfew imposed to contain the spread of the virus by one hour, to begin at 9pm each day instead of the previous 8pm.

The change started on Friday, which is also the first day of the Islamic month of Ramadan.

The move is aimed at reducing overcrowding in the hours before the curfew begins, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly said.

The prime minister said the number of infections is expected to continue to rise, but assured the public that the government is able to contain the virus.
