Since the Jordanian Ministry of Health’s website remains silent on the two imported MERS cases reported yesterday and today (see here and here), we are pretty much dependent upon local media sources for updates. While I much prefer to rely upon official sources, we sometimes have to use what is available.
Over the past several hours multiple Arabic media outlets have reported the MERS case announced yesterday – a male in his 60s with recent travel to Saudi Arabia – has died. Yesterday he was listed in critical condition.
As always with media reports, Caveat Lector. We should get a better idea of the events surrounding these two cases when the World Health Organization posts an update.
