In the weeks leading to Mother's
Day, 33-year-old Aya (not her real name) was preoccupied with which gift
to get her mum. Little did she know that she would be burying her
instead.
Aya's mother was among Egypt's first 10 coronavirus deaths. Although Egypt announced the presence of Covid-19 in mid-February, it was not until the first week of March when the country started seeing new cases regularly.
So far, more than 2,000 people in Egypt have been infected and at least 160 have died with the disease.
