Re: 3 person cluster in SA: Some child deaths suspected

..The three new cases were confirmed on Friday by the World Health Organization. It told that one of the three was from a family, in which another case was earlier reported. All the newly infected people are, reportedly, in critical condition.


ProMED-Mail, the Internet-based disease alert system, was used by deputy health minister, Dr. Ziad Memish, to confirm all the 10 cases, including the three new infections. Michael Osterholm, infectious diseases expert, said that it was striking to note these many people with multiple comorbidities.

"That number of cases and the fact that they're clustered somehow means that there's either a point source or person-to-person transmission. And that needs to be sorted out", said London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine's Dr. David Heymann, professor of infectious diseases epidemiology.:tiphat:http://topnews.us/content/254885-three-new-coronavirus-cases-concern-experts-saudi-arabia
