Meanwhile, the total number of recoveries in the country rose to 252,039 after 1,599 people recovered from the coronavirus.
The slight rise can be linked to people attending large gatherings and failing to adhere to social distancing measures, health ministry spokesman Mohammed al-Abd al-Ali said on Sunday.
