Frankly, another confusing report.

There are 4 new cases. I know this because the number on the MoH web site increased from 84 to 88.

It appears 2 new cases are announced as deaths, which raises a lot of questions. Were these people hospitalized, or were they fairly functional in their daily life and then suddenly die?

It appears at least 2 cases are from Riyadh.

One case is a contact (possibly a relative) of a previous case.

And it appears that 2 cases (1 is dead) are health care workers.

Much basic information is missing.
