More MERS in Saudi Arabia
The Saudi Arabia Ministry of Health (MOH) reported two new cases of MERS-CoV today and over the weekend. On Nov 12, the MOH said a 51-year-old Saudi man from Tabuk was diagnosed as having Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). He is currently in critical condition. Health officials said the man had direct contact with camels, a known risk factor for MERS. Today the MOH said a 58-year-old Saudi woman from Afif is in stable condition after being diagnosed with the respiratory virus. Her case involves a primary source of the infection, which means she did not contract it from another person. The new developments lift Saudi Arabia's MERS-CoV total to 1,479 cases, 617 of them fatal. Eight people are still being treated for their infections. http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2016/11/news-scan-nov-14-2016 |
