Ten days into the Holy Month of Ramadan - which sees as many as 1 million religious pilgrims visiting the Holy Cities of Saudi Arabia - their
MOH reports their 4th MERS case of May; a 73 y.o. male from Jeddah City with reported camel contact.
As Makkah (Mecca) is only about an hour away, most pilgrims elect to fly into King
Abdulaziz International Airport (KAIA) in Jeddah, so we take extra notice whenever we see MERS cases during Ramadan or the Hajj in Jeddah.
