The New York Times is reporting that Oman says both women are in stable condition according to Oman's Health Ministry.

The outbreak in Iran is leading to a number of cases in other countries. Iran has officially confirmed 47 cases but the number is likely to be much higher based on the exported cases to other countries. Bahrain and Kuwait both recently confirmed their first cases.
