What is the three-month state of emergency in Egypt?

According to Egyptian national television reported on the 11th, the Egyptian parliament voted on the same day to implement a three-month state of emergency nationwide.

Subsequently, the Egyptian cabinet announced that the state of emergency would begin at 13: local time on the 1th.
