Dar Al Hayat Medical Centre said it was informed by the Health Ministry that the person who tested positive had visited the GP clinic on March 21.
It added that through collaboration with the Public Health Directorate immediate measures were taken to close down the infected zone, while arrangements were made to test all medical and non-medical staff – all of whom tested negative.
