Corona invades 3 new Yemeni provinces

SANAA, May 13 (YPA) – Coronavirus control committee of Hadi’s government on Tuesday announced the registration of confirmed cases of the novel Corona virus (COVID-19) in Mahra, Abyan and Shabwa provinces.

The committee said in a brief statement, on its account on Twitter, that nine new cases of COVID-19 were recorded, including one death in Shabwa, in addition to recording confirmed cases in each of the three provinces, for the first time.

This brings the total number of the confirmed Corona cases in Yemen since April 10 to 67 cases, including 12 deaths in eight Yemeni provinces.

Yemen suffers from a general deterioration of the various service sectors, especially the health sector, as a result of the bombing and blockade by Saudi-led coalition countries on the country for the sixth year in a row.
