The CoVID-19 epidemic started in Wuhan, China and spread to 217 other countries around the world through direct contact with patients, goods transfer, animal transport, and touching unclean surfaces. In the Middle East, the first confirmed case in both Iran and UAE originated from China. A series of infections since those confirmed cases started in the Middle East originated from Qom, Iran, and other Shi'ite holy places. Thereafter, CoVID-19 has been transmitted to other countries in the Middle East. This report aims to trace all of the confirmed cases in the Middle East until March 6, 2020 and their further spread. This report proves that further transmission of CoVID-19 to the Middle East was because of human mobility, besides engaging in different Jewish and Shi'ite religious rites. This report suggests avoiding several religious rites, closing the borders of infected countries, and supporting the infected countries to prevent further transmission.
新冠疫情始于中国武汉，并通过与患者直接接触、货物运输、动物运输以及接触不洁表面等途径传播到全球 217 个国家。在中东，伊朗和阿联酋的首例确诊病例都源自中国。自从中东的这些确诊病例出现以来，一系列感染都源自伊朗的库姆和其他什叶派圣地。此后，新冠疫情已传播到中东的其他国家。本报告旨在追溯截至 2020 年 3 月 6 日在中东的所有确诊病例及其进一步传播情况。本报告证明，除了参加不同的犹太教和什叶教宗教仪式外，新冠病毒进一步传播到中东地区是因为人类的流动。本报告建议避免几种宗教仪式、关闭受感染国家的边界，并支持受感染国家以防止进一步传播。
