“She is a 45-yesr old woman in a good health,” Samad said during a press conference.
 
“There are two other suspected cases and we are carrying out all necessary procedures,” he added.
 
The minister noted that all passengers on board of the plane are being followed up on, adding that passengers who came from Iran during the past week "must abide by the in-home quarantine or call 76/592699 if any symptoms appear."
