A hat tip to Sharon Sanders on FluTrackers for picking up a pair of media reports that indicate at least one suspected MERS case is hospitalized in Kuwait, with the added suspicion that his doctor may be infected as well.  You can follow these, and future reports on this thread.

 

The translation of first report Sharon posted is severely syntax challenged, but the second one is clearer.  Aden is located to the immediate south of Kuwait City.
