“They were under precautionary quarantine at their residence in coordination with the company's management and they have not left the area – Salmabad.
“Precautionary measures were taken for all those who were in contact with these cases and laboratory tests were carried out to ensure their safety.
“They are put under observation, and have been decided to extend their stay in a precautionary quarantine for two weeks.”
