The committee spokesman Ahmed Mansour said, "Fifty four cases were examined and 31 of them have tested positive." He said that eight of the patients have died which raises coronavirus fatalities to "42 cases" so far. "The cases that ended in recovery are sixteen."

Taiz city has been subject to a six year siege and non-stopping invasion attempts by the Houthi theocratic militia. The siege has left a devastating impact on the city's health system as all the other services and aspects of life.
