A relatively quiet day from Saudi Arabia, with just one MERS case - the 81st reported in 2019 - hailing from Medina.  The patient is a 64 y.o. male with recent camel contact.

While the number of new cases has begun to slow during this last week of February, we've already seen more Saudi MERS cases in the first 9 weeks of 2019 than were reported in the last 9 months of 2018.
