Okay sources say that samples have come from one country in the Middle East.--Please update the article if okay sources, report about other Asian countries.--(One other Asian country has been mentioned in sources today. But one will be waiting for this wiki-page to show an okay source, when such becomes available.) 2001:2020:313:F598:2003:E325:E9D5:B25A (talk) 16:35, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
