My thanks to Helen Branswell for the head’s up that the KSA MOH had updated their MERS-CoV numbers. Below you’ll find their press statement, which as we’ve seen in the past, provides very little in the way of detail.
12 June 2013
Within the framework of the epidemiological surveillance of the novel Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has announced that three new cases of this virus have been recorded.
The first case is a Saudi female citizen in the Eastern region, aged 63 who is suffering from chronic diseases, and her condition is stable. The Second one is a Saudi citizen in Al-Ahsa governorate, aged 75 who is suffering from chronic diseases as well, and still at ICU receiving the proper treatment. However, the third case is a resident, aged 21 in Hafr Al-Batin, who passed away after being admitted to ICU at the beginning of this week, May Allah have mercy upon him.
Within the same vein, MOH has pointed out that it has tested 87 samples during the past three days, where all of them have been proved negative except what have been published, May Allah be praised.
