Via hasrr.org: Emir of Mecca: the existence of cases of Corona common among pilgrims .. and the health situation reassuring. The Google translation:
Inventory confirmed the Emir of Mecca, Prince Mishaal bin Abdullah, free provinces of Mecca, Taif and Qunfudah of confirmed cases infected with "Corona", and that most patients in Jeddah recovered completely, calling on the citizens, residents and pilgrims and visitors to not to believe rumors RDM in websites.
According to the newspaper "City", the Prince Mishaal stressed that the health situation in Makkah reassuring, but the rumors circulating spread fear amidst the people, wishing parking society together and to refute the rumors, reiterating the vacancy cities and provinces of the region of any confirmed cases of infection with "Corona" .
The Emir of Mecca, that he stop today on cases sleeping in King Abdullah Medical Jeddah, reviewers and all the health and well-being and cared for good health, stressing that the Umrah season is going very successfully, denying the registration of any infection among pilgrims, pointing out that the talk about the presence of infection among pilgrims just a rumor.
I don't know what the point of denial would be at this point, when Malaysia's media are reporting the death of a returned Umrah pilgrim.
One thing we need to bear in mind: Today's explosion of MERS news comes from two separate, coincidental cases: the Filipino nurse from Abu Dhabi's Al-Ain region, and the Malaysian pilgrim from Mecca. I'll leave it to the epidemiologists to judge how extensive MERS must be in the region.
