With two weeks until the start of the Hajj, yesterday we saw 1 MERS case reported in Medinah - KSA's 2nd holiest city - and a MERS death in Jeddah, a major entry point for religious pilgrims to the Kingdom.
Today the MOH reports another MERS infection in Jeddah, the third in two weeks. The patient - a 69 y.o. male Expat - is listed in critical condition. The source of his infection is still under investigation.
After a very quiet July, Saudi Arabia has reported 23 MERS cases since the 1st of August.
