Coronavirus on the Nile: Egypt’s COVID-19 May 2021 numbers in Graph

This is the time of our monthly post about the coronavirus pandemic and its numbers in graphs.

The official numbers of coronavirus cases in Egypt continued officially surged and then declined in May 2021 following April 2021.

In the first half of May 2021, we had Ramadan, Orthodox Easter and Eid. It was like a big social gathering despite warnings and official preventative measures that actually were not to be seen on the ground.

May finished as the numbers of cases began to decline in its last week officially.

Disclaimer: According to Minister of Health Hala Zayed in early January, the official numbers of cases represent between 10%-15% of the real number of cases worldwide Egypt included.

Now to the graphs of May numbers.

First, the daily cases of coronavirus in Egypt.


As you can see there was a steady decline in the numbers starting from the middle of the month.

Moving to the fatalities numbers.


The official number of fatalities declined too but not as in reality.

It is still a depressing time when you go on social media especially Facebook to see obituaries nearly every week and day.

Moving to the fully recovered patients, which is the good news in this pandemic.

Despite there has been no exact number but I can say based on my personal observation that in the second half of May, more people have received vaccination including myself at last. 

Just stay safe and register yourself to get vaccinated if you are in Egypt as soon as possible inshallah.
