Saudi MOH: 2 More Asymptomatic MERS Cases In Domat Al Jandal
#12,731
Today marks the opening day of this year's Hajj, and while MERS reports in and around the Holy Cities have diminished, the Domat Al Jandal (aka Dawmat AlJandal) region continues to be a hot spot.
Daily reports from the MOH continue to be erratic (see list below), with belated postings, skipped days, and incorrectly labeled links (see master list below).
Building on last Sunday's report (see Saudi MOH: 6 MERS Cases Over Past 4 Days), two more household members in Domat Al Jandal have tested positive for the MERS virus. Both are listed as asymptomatic.
