I’m seeing this reported in multiple Arabic news sources (here, and here) but have yet to locate an announcement on Qatar’s Supreme Council of Health website.  These reports indicate that the 48 year-old has recovered and has been released from the hospital after three weeks of treatment, while the 61 year-old – who fell  ill on November 4th, and was hospitalized on the 7th, has died.
