        Odd since both statements came from the MoH. I wonder if there are more than 1 Indonesian patient hospitalized with coronavirus MERS in the UAE and/or Saudi Arabia?

        Since early June it appears the Saudis have announced approximately 10 expats with the disease so the Indonesian MoH officials could be inadvertently referring to more than 1 case here. ??
