The Kuwaiti Ministry of Health announced on Sunday registering two new coronavirus cases bringing the total number of the confirmed cases in the country to 64.

The ministry official spokesperson, Dr. Abdullah Al-Sanad, said in a statement that one of the two news cases was of a female citizen who came back to Kuwait from the Islamic Republic of Iran and the other one was of an Egyptian expatriate who had travelled to Azerbaijan, via the United Arab Emirates, on a private visit.

The latter had returned on the same flight, via the same route, the spokesperson said, noting that the male patient did not travel to Egypt over the past six months.

The expatriate checked with an emergency ward of the Ministry of Health. Personnel after verifying dates of his travel placed him under quarantine because he came back from a state that recorded coronavirus cases.

His transfer to a specialized hospital is underway.

With recording the two new cases, the overall number of coronavirus infections in the State of Kuwait climbed to 64.
