The United Nations has warned that the Corona virus may have been a widespread outbreak in Yemen, although the authorities have so far announced a single infection with the virus, but have been unable to determine the source of the infection to the country.

The Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen, Les Grande, said that after the announcement on the tenth of this month, the first recorded infection of Corona in Hadramout Governorate (eastern Yemen), the United Nations organization had warned that the virus was now present in this country, and it could spread quickly.

Grandi added that all factors are available for the outbreak of the virus in Yemen, indicating low levels of general immunity, high levels of acute vulnerability, as well as a fragile and heavy health system.

"Based on patterns of virus transmission in other countries, and 17 days after the first case was announced, agencies warn that there is a real possibility that the virus will have spread without being detected or mitigated within communities," she added.

The UN official said the possibility of a large-scale disease outbreak would put a heavy pressure on the modest health potential in Yemen, which has been witnessing an ongoing war for more than five years.

The National Committee to Combat Corona Virus in Yemen announced on Monday that the only person infected so far with corona virus is an official in one of the ports, and he is sixty years old, and that tests have proven his recovery from the disease.

But the authorities told Reuters that they were unable to track down "Patient Zero," an important step in tracking and tracking all those who might be infected and contain an outbreak.

In the context, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees warned today that nearly a million displaced people in Yemen face the risk of losing shelter, warning of a severe shortage of funds with the emergence of the Corona epidemic.

The UNHCR said that more than $ 89 million is urgently needed in the coming weeks to continue assistance programs that help save the lives of displaced people.
