# 7327
It’s being widely reported this morning that France’s first MERS-CoV case (see France: More Details On Imported nCoV Case) - the 65-year old man who returned form Dubai in Mid-April - has died after more than a month of hospitalization.
He, and another patient who shared a hospital room with him before he was diagnosed, were both reported to be in grave condition more than a week ago (see France: 2nd nCoV Patient Deteriorates, Placed On ECMO).
Although I’ve not found an official statement on the French Ministry of Health website, Reuters and AFP are both reporting the fatality.
