MOH reaffirmed that no infection with the novel coronavirus has been recorded in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as MOH continues to implement precautionary measures to prevent the virus from entering the Kingdom by continuing to examine arrivals from China and conducting intensive awareness campaigns with scientific methods to combat and prevent the virus.
