My thanks to Helen Branswell, @FluTrackers and @Ironorehopper for tweeting this latest update from the Saudi Ministry of Health where – for the second time today – they’ve released a double-digit update. This time, they have 13 new cases on the list, bringing the day’s total to 24.
While the number of cases is concerning, one very good sign is the increase in the amount of information this update is providing on each case. A nice summary at the top, and individual case details (including dates of hospital admission), are welcome additions to this latest release.
Hopefully this will be a sign of continued better organization, and more openness, from the Saudi Ministry of Health.
Of particular note with this release, the MOH is acknowledging 4 more cases in the Holy City (Mecca), which must be a concern for those planning on making the pilgrimage this year (Umrah or Hajj) and for its organizers. Also, only one HCW case (fatal) was reported, as well as only 1 asymptomatic case, bucking recent trends that have seen a large surge in both types of cases.
