The Public Health Ministry on Wednesday reported 35 new cases of coronavirus disease (Covid-19), raising the number of local infections to 212, and warned that lack of personal discipline could make the outbreak uncontrollable.

The first one of 29 comprised people in contact with previous patients and the venues where previous patients visited – 13 visitors to boxing stadiums, four visitors to entertainment places and 12 people in close contact with previous patients.
