First of all, the population flow is slow, and the floating population is small. Infectious diseases and viruses, including COVID-19, are mostly spread by people-to-people contact. Egypt is located in Africa, and the whole African region is relatively barren, with underdeveloped economy and transportation. Except for South Africa and Algeria, which have close contact with European and American countries, and COVID-19, which have more external imports, the population mobility in African countries is relatively small, and few countries can reach 1 000 confirmed cases.
Second, the population density in Egypt is smaller than that in virus-prone areas.
Third, the climate. Don't underestimate the "fever" in Africa. The virus is easy to spread rapidly at low temperature, especially between 10-20 degrees. In Africa near the equator, the temperature has exceeded 30 degrees and will soon approach 40 degrees.
If we look at it this way, it is indeed the above factors that determine that the development is not serious, but we should not be too confident and actively fight against the epidemic, otherwise our internal communication will also cause unknown consequences.
