Cairo – Mubasher: The Chairman of the Egyptian Financial Regulatory Authority, Mohamed Omran, said that insurance companies acquiring 71% of medical insurance customers in the market provided complete coverage for the treatment of coronavirus (COVID-19) patients.

The FRA might provide insurance coverage for the remaining 29% of medical insurance customers whose insurance policies don’t cover the pandemic viruses, Omran added in an event on Sunday.
