MERS-CoV kills Negros nurse
BY CARLA GOMEZ

A nurse from Negros Occidental succumbed to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome-Corona Virus (MERS-CoV) at the King Fahd Medical City in Saudi Arabia at 5:50 p.m. Tuesday, her husband said yesterday.

The 45-year-old had been working in Saudi Arabia since 2001, and at the King Fahd Medical City in Riyadh as an emergency room nurse since 2005, he said.

Her husband, who has asked that their names be withheld, said the hospital director called to inform him that she had passed away.

On May 1, his wife had informed him that she had been admitted in the hospital for pneumonia. Later her co-worker, who is also a Negrense, informed him that a bypass tube had been placed through his wife’s mouth to suck out the phlegm in her lungs to help her breath, the husband, who is a government worker, said.

The co-worker informed him that before his wife fell ill, she had taken care of a fellow ER Filipina nurse from Manila also infected by the deadly virus, her husband said.

...

A Filipina nurse working in the same hospital, who asked not to be identified, said they are now taking extra precautions, such as wearing long-sleeved uniforms and double masks.*CPG

The family hopes the body will be released to them to take home eventually. Another nurse's body was allowed to return home to the Philippines after being frozen for two months.
