Saudi Arabia registered on Monday the first novel coronavirus case, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
The Health Ministry revealed that the case is a Saudi national traveling from Iran to the kingdom through Bahrain.
The ministry said that a medical team was sent for medical tests that were positive. He was kept in isolation in the hospital, while those who made contact with him are being tested.
