It’s been awhile since we’ve heard of any cases out of Hofuf, the scene of a large nosocomial MERS outbreak last May and June, but today they report a new case. This newest case is listed as a 65 y.o. male with no known contact with a previously confirmed case.

 

Elsewhere, Riyadh reports two additional cases, including a 32 y.o. Health care worker with known exposure, and a 50 year old male whose exposure history is under review.
