Saudi MOH: 1 Secondary MERS Case In Al Kharj

#13,970


On Wednesday (3/27) the Saudis reported a primary MERS case (57 M, with camel contact) in Al Kharj.  Although details are scant, today we are informed of a secondary case - presumably a contact of the above case - from the same city.

It isn't clear from the brief report below whether this is a household contact, or perhaps a hospital acquired infection.

Today's case brings the Saudi total for 2019 to 114 cases, which is nearly double the pace of the first quarter of 2018.
