DUBAI -- The United Arab Emirates on Wednesday confirmed the first case of coronavirus in Dubai, saying medics were now treating a member of a family that had just arrived from Wuhan. It is unclear how the family traveled to Dubai given that Wuhan is in lockdown.
The UAE's state-run WAM news agency made the announcement citing the Health and Prevention Ministry. When contacted by Nikkei, the ministry declined to provide information about the infected family member and which hospital he or she was being treated at, and declined to comment on the health risk to Dubai's population.
