The Egyptian Government announced, on Wednesday, that it will receive 20 million doses of Russia's Sputnik vaccine against the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), in addition to a further 20 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.
At its weekly meeting, headed by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, the cabinet decided to reopen public beaches, provided that visitors adhere to precautionary measures against the virus.
