226 people in Egypt tested positive for the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) recently and 21 people died, the Health Ministry said on Wednesday, shortly after it noted that 25% of the announced fatalities died before reaching quarantine hospitals as they arrived at hospitals too late.
This brings the total number of reported cases and deaths to 5,268 and 380 respectively, the ministry said.
As many as 1,712 people of the reported cases had their results come back negative, including 1,335 people who fully recovered.
Also, 31 cases, all of them Egyptians, left hospital after they recovered, according to the instructions of the World Health Organization (WHO).
