The ongoing nine-hour curfew will continue until mid-June, when the government will consider easing relevant restrictions amid a coexistence plan to maintain anti-coronavirus precautionary measures while resuming economic activities.
The government has already started gradual reopening of services and offices, and allowed reopening of dozens of hotels for local tourists with 50-percent capacity after they were given official hygiene safety certificates.
"The number of reopened hotels has reached 196 after 22 hotels in six provinces have been inspected and given an official safety certificate on Wednesday," Abdel-Fattah al-Aasy, assistant minister of tourism and antiquities for monitoring tourism and hotel facilities, told Xinhua.
The official expected the number of reopened hotels in Egypt to double by the end of this month.
Egypt and China have been cooperating closely in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic through exchanging medical aid and expertise.
In early February, Egypt provided aid to China in its fight against the coronavirus outbreak and China later returned favor by sending three batches of medical aid to the North African country.
Since mid-April, Chinese doctors have held three video conferences with Egyptian counterparts to share their experience in the prevention and treatment of the novel coronavirus.
