Abu Dhabi has announced that two people are infected with the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, aka the coronavirus.
“The two cases have no symptoms and are in stable condition – and were confirmed positive through active case finding,” the Health Authority of Abu Dhabi said Wednesday.
The coronavirus originated in Saudi Arabia. The kingdom said in March that deaths due to the respiratory virus stood at 400 since June 2012.
In June 2014, the UAE said ten people died of the disease since its first outbreak.
