Saudi Arabia reports 3 new coronavirus cases

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 04 Mei 2013 | 22.45

Saudi Arabian authorities are reporting three more infections with the new coronavirus, bringing to 10 the total cases they have reported in recent days.

The cases have all occurred in the same area of the country, a worrying sign.

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.

To date there have been 27 confirmed cases of infection with the new virus, and 16 of those people have died.

Cases have been linked to Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

There was a cluster of three cases in Britain, but the first case in the group is believed to have been infected while travelling in Saudi Arabia.
