Novel coronavirus\u2026 Should schools<\/a> <\/span>be closed after announcing the first person tested positive coronavirus in Egypt? a question asked by many parents and teachers now.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This question has been raised especially after the Egyptian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization have issued a joined statement, last Friday, confirming the first case has been tested positive for coronavirus but appears to have no outward symptoms (get to know “Skolera LMS: A Look Back at 2019 Top Achievements<\/a><\/span><\/span>“).<\/span><\/p>\n

What happened could be indeed related to the research published last Sunday by a group of Chinese scientist\u2014led by Zhong Nanshan\u2014who discovered the SARS virus, “Clinical Characteristics of 2019 Novel Coronavirus Infection in China<\/a><\/span><\/span>.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The results of the research propose that a person who is infected might take 24 days before they show any signs or symptoms (have you checked “Skolera LMS Launches Its Newest Features for V. 6.0<\/a><\/span><\/span>” yet?).<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s worth mentioning that Dr. John Gabor, the Representative of the World Health Organization in Egypt, praised Egypt\u2019s transparency dealing with the situation saying the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Egypt is one of the first countries to prepare a well-formed preventative plan to fight back against the novel coronavirus and deal with infected cases once discovered. Egypt is also one of the first countries in the Middle East the organization has “provided with accurate detectors<\/a><\/span><\/span> to discover any case infected with the new emerging virus.””<\/span><\/p>\n
