The Saudi MOH is reporting two new MERS cases today, two recoveries, and two deaths but the bigger story may be the unconfirmed media reports of another hospital outbreak - this time in Al-Rass (50 miles Southwest of Buraidah).
Officially, today's new cases include another Primary case from Buraidah, and a posthumously reported case from Riyadh Alkhobara that is `under investigation'.
On Wednesday 1 case - an 84,F in stable condition - was reported in Al Rass, whose exposure was listed as `under investigation'.
Overnight there have been numerous Arabic news reports (already denied by the Ministry) suggesting that the Al Rass hospital's Emergency Room had been closed due to `contamination by corona patients'.
We'll simply have to wait to see whether the MOH announces additional cases from that hospital in the coming days.
