Yemen has confirmed the first case of infection with coronavirus in the country.

The Deputy Health Minister, the spokesman of a supreme national emergency committee for coronavirus said the case was reported in al-Shaher, an Arabian port city in the eastern province of Hadhramout.

Al-Waleedi told Saba the patient zero is in a stable condition "and is receiving the necessary healthcare."
