Saudi Arabia reports new MERS case in Buraydah

Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Health (MOH) today reported a new, fatal MERS-CoV case in Buraydah, the first there this month after the city reported 34 MERS cases in March.

Today's MERS-CoV (Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus) case involves a 75-year-old Saudi woman whose infection was contracted in a healthcare setting, as have most of the cases in the Buraydah cluster, which was first noted on Mar 3. The woman died from her infection. She had preexisting disease and was not a healthcare worker, the MOH said.

Her case brings the MERS-CoV total in Saudi Arabia since the outbreak began in 2012 to 1,363 infections, including 583 deaths. Thirteen patients are still undergoing treatment, the MOH said.
