Jordan cluster now at 15
Two of the four cases in Jordan 
detailed in an update from the WHO today appear to be new cases, and one
 of them was fatal. Two were apparently reported earlier with very few 
details in a Sep 20 report in Arabic from Petra, Jordan's state news 
service.
A hospital outbreak in Amman has been under way since the
 end of August, and the new cases covered in the WHO update today bring 
the number of recent cases there to 15, six of them fatal.
One 
infected healthcare workers is a 29-year-old man who had cared for an 
earlier lab-confirmed MERS patient. He got sick on Sep 15 and sought 
care in his hospital's emergency department, which treated his symptoms 
and sent him home. The man, who has underlying medical conditions, 
tested positive for MERS-CoV on Sep 20, and he was hospitalized and is 
in stable condition. His case appears to have been reported in the local
 media on Sep 20, but the media report at that time included no details 
on the other case.
