This time last year we were beginning to see the start of what would turn out to be an explosion of MERS cases in Saudi Arabia, a spike that would see more than 500 people infected in just over a 2-month period. As the chart above shows, we saw an early peak in late February, and since then a fairly steady decline.
We’ll have to wait to see if another spring surge is in the offing.
In the meantime, after three days without a new case, we have this report of a single case in Hail.
