Although there were brief mentions of it yesterday in the Arabic press (see People were newly infected Coruna in Jordan) there were virtually no details released on Jordan’s 10th reported case of of MERS. While hardly unusual, repeated checks of Jordan’s Ministry of Health and the Jordanian News Agency PETRA have failed to turn up anything `official’.
Today, the Arabic media is reporting a bit more detail on this case – indicating this case is a recent returnee from `the Holy Land’, which one would assume refers to Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
The Jordanian ministry will update the World Health Organization on this case at some point, and we will hopefully get more clarification.
