The fourth quarterly report of 2020 comes amid the continuous consequences of spreading the new Coronavirus strain “Covid-19” across the world, which started its second wave at the end of 2020 and caused an increase in the number of infections of this global pandemic. The recorded numbers reached millions of Humans across the world. Journalists in Egypt ended their year (2020) between working remotely from home in specific months, then they returned back to work within the institutions after the new infection rate of the Coronavirus has decreased, and the year ended with a decision issued by the National Press Authority that it was necessary to reduce the employment within the press institution to reduce crowding inside Workplaces, activating work (online), giving the priority to people with chronic diseases, and other cases that require this. However, these exceptional circumstances have not succeeded in reducing the violations against journalists and media professionals. The last three months of 2020 witnessed a remarkable diversity in the types of violations.
