We’ve the first single-digit MERS report in over a week, with only one new case reported in Khobar, which has been dealing with an extended healthcare related outbreak. 

 

Over the past week three Healthcare workers have been reportedly infected in Khobar, along with several non-HCW hospital contacts. 

 

While nosocomial infections have accounted for about a third of this recent surge, most of the cases reported this month are listed without known exposures.
