Dubai: Egypt will charge an immediate fine of EGP 50 (approximately $3.16) on those not wearing face masks in public starting Sunday, local media reported.
The move aims to stem the spread of the coronavirus in the overpopulous country during the second wave of the pandemic.
Restaurants and coffee shops not abiding by the coronavirus restrictions, which include a limited occupancy rate of 50 percent, will be closed for a week and fined EGP 4,000 ($252.5).
A fine of EGP 50 will be imposed in metro and railway stations nationwide on people not wearing face masks.
Although the Egyptian Cabinet announced earlier the banning of New Year celebrations in public places, hundreds gathered on Alexandria’s iconic Stanley Bridge to celebrate after midnight.
