Although it hasn't appeared yet on KSA's list of MERS Epi Week reports - which is where many people naturally check for updates - sometime late yesterday afternoon the Saudi MOH posted an Epi Week 15 update, bringing the number of recent cases in Al Kahfji to 9.
Ten days ago the Saudis announced a single, primary (with camel contact) MERS case (M,75) in Al Khafji, very near the Saudi border with Kuwait.Two days later (Epi Week 14) they announced a 25-year-old male as a secondary case, followed on April 4th with 3 more secondary cases. The following day, two more cases (listed as `under investigation') were announced from the same city.
Yesterday's report (we may get another later today) adds 2 more secondary cases to kick off Epi Week 15. As with the other 7 cases in this cluster, both are male, and their ages are 28 & 34.
