The 76 years old female patient who has a chronic disease tested positive for Covid-19 after she sought medical attention for her cough and abdominal pain and after that her condition worsened which then led to her death on Sunday,11:23 PM. The 92-year-old male patient who also tested positive for Covid-19 also had a chronic disease and was hospitalized on July 7 and died on Monday at 9:13 AM.

The government also tightened public gatherings from four to two people only and ordered the public to wear masks even indoors to lessen the spread of the virus.
