He pointed out that: "There is no need for an unjustified intimidation by the new coronavirus and the two cases that we have reported have minor symptoms. They visited a health center in Muscat Governorate and the necessary measures were taken after knowing that they were in Iran and a team was sent to the home to quarantine and to inform them of the instructions and what to do.”
