Saudi MOH Reports 3rd Primary MERS Case In Riyadh In May













#14,061


As we enter the second week of Ramadan, MERS reports from Saudi Arabia continue to be sporadic, and for the past week have been centered in the kingdom's capital Riyadh.
On May 4th (Saudi MOH Reports 1 Primary MERS Case In Riyadh) we learned of a primary case (M,59), and another (M,31) on May 8th (see Saudi MOH Reports A Single MERS Case In Riyadh).
Late yesterday, the Saudi MOH posted the second case of Epi week 19 (see below), involving a 77 y.o. female from Riyadh.  All three cases are listed as `primary' with `unknown' recent camel contact.
