A 74-year-old female was admitted to a government hospital in Jeddah. Her case was previously reported on May 19th, 2014. She passed away on May 19th, 2014. May Allah rest her soul.

This is some kind of mistake. No 74-year-old female was reported in the media report of May 19th.

The only 74-year-old female reported from Jeddah was reported on April 23.
