At the end of what has been a busy infectious disease news day (see here, here, here & here), Helen Branswell of The Canadian Press has put together a comprehensive overview on what we now know about a pair of recent novel coronavirus infections reported out of the Middle East.
As Helen is arguably the best health reporter in the business, I’ll do the smart thing and simply step aside and invite you to read:
Outbreak of new coronavirus - same family as SARS - has WHO on alert
Helen Branswell, Sunday, September 23, 2012 5:16 PM
Meanwhile, after posting a notice on their Global Alert and Response (GAR) earlier today, the World Health Organization has been posting updates via their twitter account: @WHO
I would expect that the ECDC will weigh in on all of this in the next day or two as well.
