Helen Branswell has been very busy today, with a second story on the breaking news that there are now 13 cases in the Saudi Arabian coronavirus cluster, and that that nosocomial transmission at a single healthcare facility may be behind many of the cases.
As I mentioned in my last blog, the first known appearance of this virus was in a hospital cluster in Jordan, a little over a year ago.
Helen has comments from CIDRAP Director Michael Osterholm on these latest developments. Follow the link to read Helen’s top notch coverage:
