At least one of the new cases is a family member of an earlier case, which might suggest person-to-person spread of the virus.
The country's deputy minister of health is reporting details of the cases in ProMED-Mail, an internet-based disease alert system.
Dr. Ziad Memish says investigations into the cases are continuing.
The three new cases are all currently alive, but five of the seven cases reported earlier in the week have died.
