Two more deaths from the novel coronavirus have also been confirmed, both expats, taking to 10 the total number of virus-related deaths in the kingdom.
Most of the cases reported in the kingdom are in stable health condition, the ministry said, calling on members of the public not to overuse sterilising liquids.
