My thanks to Lisa Schnirring at CIDRAP News for the tip off that the case count at the Saudi MOH had been incremented this afternoon, which led me to the following (translated) reported on two MERS cases.
As usual, other than the patient’s age and general location, very little else is disclosed by the MOH. This is the first new announcement out of KSA since the 26th of February.
