The above translation describes five symptomatic students who are being tested for MERS-CoV after a classmate (9F) died (see map).  Recent media reports cite the confirmation of MERS-CoV in a patient that matches the age and gender of the above case.  The non-disclosure statement raises transparency concerns.  The death of the above case was reported on May 5, and the story citing a confirmed 9F case was based on a May 12 news conference.

Prior media reports cited deaths of 10 and 11 year old residents of Al Hofuf with SARS-like symptoms and subsequent reports cited the death of an 18 year old.  Additional reports cited the transport of an 11 month old infant to Riyadh for heart surgery and the discovery of MERS-CoV.  That child was also from the eastern region of Saudi Arabia (Abquaq –see map).

Twitter reports suggest the school clusters may extend beyond the school cited above.

Community transmission has been denied by WHO.  However, their recent comments after visiting eastern Saudi Arabia failed to cite the two fatal cases (9F and 21M) disclosed at the Sunday news conference, raising additional transparency concerns.
