Abstract

There is no special provision in the Egyptian criminal law that establishes punishment for the transmission of the Corona virus intentionally or unintentionally, and therefore
some differ about determining the legal adaptation that can be applied to the committed incident, and we note in this regard several descriptions of the transmission of the
Corona virus, which can be collected in possible descriptions.
