CAIRO (Reuters) – Egypt has extended the operating hours of cafes and restaurants from 10:00 p.m. to midnight while allowing them to operate at 50% capacity starting July 26, the cabinet said in a statement on Wednesday.
The operating hours of stores, including malls, were also extended until 10:00 p.m., the statement said.
Egypt had reduced operating hours in its initial reopening phase to limit public gatherings and curb the spread of the coronavirus.
