After reporting 33 cases over the weekend (18 Saturday, 15 Sunday), the report today from KSA’s MOH shows a big drop in the number of new cases; two from Riyadh and 1 from Medina. Also announced were three deaths from previously reported cases.
Whether this is a welcome trend, of a temporary blip, is something we’ll have to wait to see.
