While no update (UPDATED: See below) has been posted on the Egyptian Ministry of Health’s website, this morning multiple media sources are reporting on two new H5N1 cases detected in Minya Governorate, along with the death of the three-year-old from Giza who was announced as Egypt’s 27th H5N1 case of 2014 last week.


Typical of the coverage today is the report below from gate.ahram.org

 

Note: the machine translation of the location of the second case in `Kuala Lampur’ seems to be an artifact of the Bing translator, Google’s translator yields `Megaga’, which I suspect actually refers to the town of Maghagha, in northern Minya Governorate.
