Within
the framework of the epidemiological surveillance of the novel
Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), the Ministry of Health (MOH) has announced that
two confirmed cases of this virus have been recorded. The first case is
for a 26-old-year Saudi male in Asir, who was in contact with one of the
cases previously announced to be infected with the virus. The second
case is for a 42-year-old female resident working at the health sector
in Asir. Both cases have mild symptoms, so it was not recommended to be
hospitalized.
It is worth mentioning that, the MOH has tested 1460 samples from the
beginning of the previous month (Sha‘ban), given that, all of such
samples have been proved negative, May Allah be praised, except the
cases that have been published.
