[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Saudi Arabia has become the fourth country to institute a lockdown after China, Vietnam, and Italy.

The Saudis have locked down the Qatif area in the Eastern province.  Many of the residents work at Saudi Aramco, the national oil company.  The population is largely Shi'ite, and 11 people have been found to be infected, all related to travel to Iran.  No one is allowed to leave, but residents may return.

The Palestine Authority also instituted a lockdown on the Bethlehem area last Thursday, shortly after confirming 4 cases, all related to Italian tourists.

The Qatif lock down area has a population of 500,000 per CNN.[/quote]

Saudi Arabia has closed all schools and universities across the kingdom, which, geographically is one-fifth the size of the US and the largest country in western Asia.

The outbreak there, as reported, totals only 11 cases and is limited to an area of their eastern province opposite Bahrain.[/quote]
