Description
Amid rising cases of deadly SARS-like virus, Saudi Health Ministry on Tuesday reported five new incidents in the east of the oil-rich kingdom, claiming that all affected are elderly people aged between 73 and 85. The latest cases appeared just hours after a 65-year-old Frenchman died of the virus, becoming the first victim in his country to get infected and died of the deadly nCoV-EMC novel coronavirus. The virus is believed to have links with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which had sparked global health crisis nearly a decade ago. It is believed that the Frenchman got the infection from a man in Dubai with whom he shared a hospital room.
