The health authorities in Yemen's capital said on Wednesday that they would build a 3,000-bed field hospital in Sanaa given the potential spread of COVID-19, the al-Masirah television reported.
Earlier in the day, the security authorities imposed partial lockdown on several markets and neighborhoods in Sanaa, a day after the health authorities confirmed the first COVID-19 case in the northern provinces, a Somali national found dead in a hotel.
Meanwhile in the south, the resigned regime of Abd Rabbu Mansour Hadi confirmed four new cases of COVID-19, bringing the official number of recorded cases in the country to 25, including five deaths.
The World Health Organization has said Yemen's fragile health system is facing catastrophic shortages after five years of civil war as anti-coronavirus supplies in the country are grossly insufficient.
