KSA MOH: 16 New MERS Cases

image

 

# 8622

 

After several days of single-digit reports, today’s MOH announcement contains 16 new cases, and 5 deaths.  Cases hail from Riyadh (9), Jeddah (5), and Medina (2) and range in age from 2 to 72.


For the first time since Saturday, this report also counts asymptomatic cases (3), which have been noticeably absent during the past few days.

 

Although several of today’s cases are listed as being of `working age’ and `contacts of a confirmed case’, none are expressly identified as Healthcare workers.  We’ve not seen any health care workers specifically mentioned in these reports for well over a week, although some appear likely to be HCWs.
