Although one can hope that today's solitary announcement is a sign that the Wadi Aldwasir MERS cluster is winding down - just last Saturday they reported zero cases - but since then 15 more cases have emerged.
As with two cases announced yesterday, the source of this person's infection is under investigation.
Two cases reported yesterday as `under investigation' have now been classified, one (80,F) as a secondary, healthcare-acquired and the other (45,F) as a primary (no camel contact).Today's case is the 60th reported out of Saudi Arabia for 2019, a total that in less than 7 weeks exceeds the number of cases reported over the last 7 months of 2018.
