Yemen confirmed its first coronavirus case Friday, in the southern oil-rich region of Hadhramout.
Yemen’s supreme national emergency committee for COVID-19 posted the announcement on Twitter, also saying, without giving details, that "the individual is stable and receiving medical attention” and that medical teams and the authorities had taken necessary measures.
U.N. officials have been concerned that if the virus spreads in the country, the impact would be "catastrophic," as the health care system for at least half the population is "very degraded" and the country lacks sufficient supplies, capabilities and facilities.
