Aden – Yemen  12/04/2020

Director General of Disease Control and Epidemiological Surveillance at the Ministry of Public Health, Adham Awad, criticized the Houthis’ statements that the medical supplies dropped by the Arab Coalition air force were contaminated with the coronavirus, adding that if their claim was true they were supposed to examine it in the laboratory to prove that it was contaminated, he also stressed that it is not in the interest of the coalition to send contaminated medical masks because it is authorized in accordance with the Resolution of the Security Council and cannot spread the epidemic in Yemen.
