Egypt prime minister tours Cairo Airport, inspects coronavirus preventative measures
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 09 - 05 - 2020

Egypt's Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly visited on Saturday the terminals at Cairo International Airport to follow up on the efforts made by all concerned authorities and agencies to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
According to a statement by the cabinet, Madbouly was accompanied during his tour by Minister of Civil Aviation Mohamed Manar Enaba and Minister of State for Information Osama Heikal.
Madbouly said that the visit comes in the context of ensuring the implementation of the various precautionary and preventive measures announced by the government.
"The visit aims at ensuring the safety and health of citizens, and to ensure the non-proliferation of the virus, in accordance with the health ministry's and World Health Organization's (WHO) regulations in this regard," the prime minister said.
The statement said that Madbouly reviewed the precautionary measures applied by the Ministry of Aviation inside Egyptian airports and on board aircraft.
"Among the measures reviewed were keeping a safe distance of no less than two metres between each passenger as well as how the flight crews operate during flights," the statement said.
Madbouly's inspection tour came on the same day of his visit to Qalioubiya, where he toured a number of developmental and service projects in the governorate.
On Saturday, Egypt's health ministry reported 488 new coronavirus cases, bringing the total infection tally up to 8,964 nationwide.
Despite lockdown measures imposed since March to contain the spread of the virus, Egypt had reported more than 8,000 coronavirus cases by Friday 8 May. The first case of COVID-19 in Egypt was confirmed on 14 February, and although it took seven weeks to reach the milestone of 1,000 infections on 4 April, it has taken just three days to move from 7,000 to 8,000 cases.
