The World Health Organization telegraphed this announcement  earlier this morning (see tweet graphic above), and I expect we’ll get more information from a GAR DON update in short order, but in the meantime we have this report from KUNA – the Kuwait News Agency.

 

All three cases are apparently asymptomatic contacts of a previous case, discovered during the epidemiological investigation. Hopefully the next WHO update will help unravel the particulars. 


I’ve checked the Abu Dhabi Health Authority’s website, but so far no announcement has been posted.
