The Saudi MOH has released a new MERS-CoV update this morning, listing 12 new cases, and introducing new levels of sophistication in their report.  Gone are the parsimonious and vague 1 line summaries of each case that have caused so much ire over the past year, replaced by some very impressive detail, including onset dates and cases listed by hospital.


A very welcome change.

 

Once again, Jeddah (Grandmother) leads with 6 cases, followed by Riyadh with 5, and Mecca reports their 6th case in two days. Four cases are listed as working in a hospital environment, including one from Jeddah who is listed as a `hospital receptionist’.
