KUNA, the Kuwait News Agency is reporting a fresh MERS-CoV case has been identified in Qatar, reportedly a 61 year-old man who entered the country a month ago in search of work.  Without a date of illness onset, figuring out where his exposure might have taken place will have to wait.

 

If confirmed by the World Health Organization, I believe this would become Qatar’s 9th case.
