COVID-19:Egyptian pupils, masked and gloved, head into exams
Hundreds of thousands of Egyptian high-school pupils armed with masks, gloves and hand sanitisers started their final exams on Sunday, despite objections from some parents worried about spreading the coronavirus.
The students had their temperatures taken in the morning, before being seated at desks spaced apart from one another. They come at a time when Egypt has seen an acceleration of coronavirus cases, with confirmed infections surging to 53,758, including 2,106 deaths. The head of Egypt’s doctors’ syndicate had called for the exams to be postponed, private newspaper Al-Youm al-Sabaa reported, and some parents expressed concern about their children’s safety.
