    <textblock>
      During the COVID 19 pandemic and after new cases started to appear in Egypt in march 2020 the&#xD;
      Egyptian government issued movement restrictions and placed areas into quarantine to reduce&#xD;
      the spread of the virus. Egyptian citizens were encouraged to adopt personal protective&#xD;
      measures, such as staying at home , increasing personal hygiene and wearing protective face&#xD;
      masks. Ramadan is a holy month and a very special event for all the Muslims worldwide&#xD;
      including the Egyptian Muslims . the Egyptians have many rituals and traditions special for&#xD;
      Ramadan . normally Egyptian people tend to go to family gatherings and go out for iftar and&#xD;
      suhoor in Ramadan .the markets also tend to be very crowded and full of people in Ramadan for&#xD;
      buying food and other preparations for Ramadan and Eid Al Fitr. This all can lead to&#xD;
      crowdingof people in the streets and markets and increases the chance of the spread of the&#xD;
      virus and the chance of infection.Public Awareness play a major rule in reducing the spread&#xD;
      of COVID 19 so in this study a survey is done to measure the attitude of the Egyptian&#xD;
      population toward COVID 19 in Ramadan and to evaluate if the rituals and traditions in the&#xD;
      holy month are affecting the spread of COVID 19 in Egypt.&#xD;
