Besides, the ministry held a number of programmes and workshops to raise preparedness level at the healthcare institutions and entry points.


The ministry said that it has not proved that the virus cannot spread through consuming non-animal products confirming that the import of products and commodities from China via online marketing because imported goods require more time than is need for the virus to stay alive outside infected human or animal.
