UAE confirms first cases of new coronavirus

Al Jazeera  

The country’s health ministry says it diagnosed the virus in a family from China. The United Arab Emirates has confirmed the first cases in the Middle East of the new deadly coronavirus, saying that doctors were treating a family that had recently come from a city at the centre of the outbreak. The UAE’s Ministry of Health said on Wednesday it had diagnosed the coronavirus in a four-member Chinese family. “All family members are in stable condition and the situation was contained by following the most necessary precautionary measures adopted globally when dealing with infected cases.”, the ministry said in a statement carried by the state news agency WAM. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization, who is on a visit to Beijing, has acknowledged the respiratory illness is an emergency in China but said last week it was too early to declare the outbreak a public health emergency of international concern.
