Running a bit later than usual, the Saudi MOH has updated their Coronavirus website this afternoon with a report on 7 newly identified MERS cases, and 6 fatalities (1 from today’s group, and 4 from previously announced cases).

 

Once again, we are seeing several `working age’ people listed as having been contacts of previous cases, but no identification as to their relationship with the contact case (family member, HCW, etc.) is provided.

 

Since May 1st, we’ve seen 102 new cases announced out of Saudi Arabia, and 32 deaths.
