Saudi Arabia has announced on Monday the detection of the first case of the deadly coronavirus shortly after a ban on tourist visiting the country some days back for the fear of contracting the virus.
The country revealed the patient is a Saudi national travelling from Iran to the Kingdom through Bahrain. A test confirmed the man was infected with the virus which warranted samples taken from those in contact one way or the other with the victim and result are expected soon.
Although the information over the outbreak of the virus remains sketchy at the moment a staff of the health authorities of the southern federal state of Baden-Wuerttemberg demonstrates on a negative sample the test for the coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, in a laboratory in Stuttgart, southern Germany, on 2nd March 2020.
