The Joint Technical Committee to prepare for a response to the coronavirus epidemic confirmed that no case of the virus has been registered so far in Yemen.
The committee rejected news alleging the presence of cases of infection in the war-torn country.
The spokesperson for the joint technical committee, Dr. Abdul-Hakim Al-Kahlani, explained that the committee is the only body authorized to announce any case of infection, indicating that there is no possibility to conduct the examination except in the National Center for Public Health Laboratories in the capital Sanaa.
Al-Kahlani called on the World Health Organization to provide all provinces with tools and solutions to enhance their readiness to confront the virus.
He pointed out that the central laboratory in Sanaa on Friday examined two suspected cases deported from Saudi Arabia. The tests came out negative for the virus.
Dr. Al-Kahlani affirmed the commitment of the committee to deal with this matter with professionalism and transparency.
