Details on many of these cases remain murky, but this outbreak appears to have begun when a patient with recent travel to Saudi Arabia was admitted and treated at two different hospitals early last month, going roughly 2 weeks before being diagnosed with MERS.
This is the first outbreak of 2015 in Jordan, but 19 cases were been recorded there between 2012 and 2014. Sharon has also updated FluTracker’s Current Jordan cluster case list to reflect 13 recent cases.

You’ll find the full FluTrackers list of MERS cases HERE.
Sharon spends an incredible amount of time updating and maintaining these lists (plus their H7N9 and H5N1 line listings). They are a tremendously valuable resource, and as far as I know, FluTrackers is the only place that actively maintains these lists for the public.
