On Tuesday, the UK Minister of State for International Trade Greg Hands said, on his Twitter account, that Egypt will send a large number of medical gowns to the UK in aid to the British government’s efforts in its fight against the coronavirus outbreak.
In his tweet, Hands also expressed his gratitude to Egypt for its move, which came after contacting the Egyptian Ambassador in the U.K. and lots of engagement by British Ambassador to Egypt Geoffrey D Adams.
It is noteworthy that Egypt, since the pandemic outbreak, has expressed its readiness to support other countries that are badly affected by the virus.
On April 4, Egypt sent two military jets carrying medical equipment, protective suits, detergents and sanitizers to Italy in assistance to the Italian government to deal with the deadly virus.
On March 22, Egypt also sent more than one million medical face masks landed in the Italian Malpensa Airport. Italy has recorded high number of deaths due to Coronavirus spread, with the death toll passing 20,000 cases.
On Saturday, Egypt sent Libya 44 containers of detergents on the shipping line between Damietta Port and Libya’s Tobruk Port.
