The Ministry of Health’s press release pointed out that among the new cases, 119 were imported, and the rest were locally transmitted cases linked to the Feb. 20 Community Event.
At the same time, the ministry registered 717 new recoveries, but 12 new deaths. The total recovered cases and death toll in the Kingdom thus jumped to 77,754 and 1,614, respectively.
