Health Minister Reviews Response to MERS-CoV in Taif
20 October 2014

His Excellency Eng. Adel M. Fakeih, the acting Minister of Health, conducted an urgent inspection Sunday of King Faisal and King Abdulaziz hospitals in response to a MERS-CoV cluster in Taif.

The Ministry?s Command & Control Center has confirmed nine MERS-CoV cases in the Taif area over the last two weeks.

?The concerning rate of infection in Taif suggests we may see additional cases of MERS-CoV there in the coming days,? Minister Fakeih said. ?This is a reminder of the dangers to the public of unprotected contact with camels and the need for healthcare workers to follow proper infection-control procedures.?

In addition to sporadic cases most likely linked to exposure to infected camels, there have been some secondary infections that involved patients and healthcare workers at local hospitals.

?We might not be able to eradicate MERS-CoV from nature, but the Ministry must do everything possible to protect patients and healthcare workers from this disease,? the Minister said. ?Even one MERS-CoV infection acquired in the hospital is a crisis that demands an immediate and comprehensive response.?

The Ministry is taking the following steps with immediate effect:

?Public health experts are tracing people who came into contact with each of the MERS-CoV patients.
?The dialysis unit at King Abdulaziz Hospital is being disinfected. To reduce overcrowding, the Ministry is moving up to 20 additional dialysis machines to King Faisal Hospital, which will allow the Ministry to divert some dialysis patients there from King Abdulaziz Hospital to King Faisal Hospital.
?King Abdulaziz Hospital will transfer MERS-CoV patients to King Faisal Hospital, the designated MERS-CoV hospital for Taif.
?The Ministry is moving a mobile laboratory to Taif to accommodate the need for additional testing and to expedite the delivery of test results.
?Both hospitals are transferring some of their intensive-care patients, when feasible, to Jeddah and Riyadh.
?Experts are assessing and monitoring infection-control measures at the MOH facilities. This includes fit testing for the face masks that healthcare workers wear while treating patients.
?The existing isolation ward for MERS-CoV patients at King Faisal Hospital is being split into two wards, one for suspected cases and one for confirmed cases.
?MOH dialysis units in Taif are adding an additional shift with the goal of preventing infection by reducing the number of patients who are being treated in each session.

The Minister was joined by Dr. Anees Sindi, Deputy Commander of the Ministry?s Command & Control Center and Dr. Abdullah Assiri, World Health Organization focal point and Assistant Deputy Minister for Preventive Health.


?The response to coronavirus continues to involve all those who can add value to our efforts to control the virus, including the World Health Organization and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,? Minister Fakeih said. ?There is no vaccine for MERS-CoV, but we can work together to reduce the number of infections. That?s why some of the greatest minds in Saudi Arabia ? eminent professors and doctors from universities and hospitals across the Kingdom ? are working with the Ministry to fight the spread of this virus.?

The Command & Control Center has conducted a comprehensive review of the operations at both Taif hospitals in recent days. The deputy commander toured both facilities on Saturday with the head of clinical operations at the Center. The head of the infection-control team has been working onsite in Taif since last week.

The ongoing collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture is expanding in Taif because some of the recent infections are thought to be associated with exposure to infected camels.

Are there more coronavirus MERS cases in Taif that the MoH is not disclosing?

Are there more coronavirus MERS cases in Taif that the MoH is not disclosing?

This media is a major outlet in Saudi Arabia. The fact that this editorial is published lends support to the idea that there are more cases in Taif than has been announced by the MoH. This author is suggesting that the MoH is covering up some cases and this author warns against this as the social media will explode with rumors of exponentially more cases than is factual. Hada hospital is a hospital that I have not seen previously mentioned in Taif as one that has coronavirus cases.

Corona? in Taif
Ali Aljhali

Warned colleagues in a group "and Atsab", during the past few days, that there is an outbreak of a new virus Coruna in Taif.

A colleague confirmed that doctors Hada Hospital died from a wound infection, and that there are other cases in hospitals in the province.

Honest I did not expect that this information be correct, especially since we have become accustomed to the new minister a great deal of transparency and accountability, which affected the health of senior executives in Jeddah, what happened?

Yesterday appeared to indicate that the information minister to visit hospitals in the province, but the ministry has recognized more serious matters, including a renal failure patients exposed to disease and death, a dialysis center at King Abdul Aziz Hospital users. By the end of the visit, issued a command and control center in the ministry set of procedures that must be adhered to ensure dealing with the status quo.

If we are going to a new way of handling different from what was approved by the minister when he visited the province of Jeddah Health beginning of his mission. The most important criterion for this method is confidential, as officials in the province said that the ministry does not want to publish the announcement of panic among the population on the incidence of the virus.

I understand the ministry not to announce the cases did not prove her, or the possibility that something in a particular hospital is happening, but has "ax occurred in the head" and wounded physicians and patients with the virus; but some of them died,

here is not for the Ministry to hide the facts about public opinion; because the danger exists and the people to exercise a reasonable degree of protection for themselves and their sons and daughters.

I expect that the reservation to the Declaration of incidence can be an act punishable by the administrator in the countries of the civilized world, and I was expecting that the minister will continue in its transparency, which began its work in the ministry, search for arguments can only be interpreted as an attempt to cover up the mistakes.

There exist situations and teach workers in the sector who are in contact with their relatives and colleagues; but members of the social networking groups and one case may turn into 100 cases when passed between tongues, I support this transparency that will ensure that people get the right information from the right source. It is the safest way to deal with any health crisis such as this.

MOH: 'Coronavirus Still Poses Imminent Health Threat'
28 October 2014
The Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), according to the Ministry of Health (MOH) still poses an imminent health threat in Saudi Arabia, where 38 confirmed cases of the disease have been reported since September 5th.

The Command and Control Center, which is responsible for coordinating the response to MERS-CoV, is particularly concerned about breaking the chain of transmission in Taif, where a cluster was identified in September. At least 17 people have been infected with the virus in Taif since September 5th. The primary cases in Taif involved people who had unprotected contact with camels and then came into contact with others, including healthcare workers.

"The available evidence indicates that camels transmit MERS-CoV to humans, who then infect each other through direct contact with droplets that contain the virus," said Dr. Anees Sindi, deputy chief of the MOH Command and Control Center. "The situation in Taif is still under investigation, and we expect to see more cases in the coming days and weeks."

The Ministry has developed strict protocols for treating MERS-CoV patients in collaboration with international partners at the World Health Organization (WHO) and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It has designated hospitals to serve as MERS-CoV Centers of Excellence. These facilities are designed to provide life-saving treatment to people who are infected with the disease, while ensuring that healthcare workers are protected from exposure to the virus. Patients shall be transferred to these Centers of Excellence whenever possible.

"We have taken robust action to reduce the rate of infection in Taif," Dr. Sindi said. "This includes educating the public about the importance of avoiding close contact with camels and providing additional training for hospital workers on proper infection-control procedures." The MOH Command and Control Center also developed a comprehensive disease surveillance system that provides real-time information about new cases and the capacity of health facilities to provide intensive-care to MERS-CoV patients.

Proper hand washing and coughing etiquette, are reckoned simple but essential steps everyone should take to reduce the risk of infection. To prevent MERS-CoV infections, members of the public are also urged to avoid contact with camels and refrain from consuming raw camel milk or undercooked camel meat. Anyone who must come into close contact with camels should wear a disposable mask, gown and face mask to avoid being exposed to the virus.

There have been 780 confirmed symptomatic cases of MERS-CoV since June 2012. At least 435 have been cured, whereas 333 people have died, and 12 are under treatment.

Saudi Arabia finds six new MERS cases as outbreak grows


RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia said late on Wednesday it had detected six new cases of the deadly Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in 24 hours, the biggest daily jump for months with officials blaming lax hospital procedures...

...Two of the new cases announced by the health ministry were in medical personnel, adding to concerns about the standard of infection control procedures in medical facilities. Three different Taif hospitals have been affected.

Some of the people infected with MERS in Taif this month were being treated in one renal clinic in a hospital in the city, which authorities regard as being responsible for some of the transmissions, a senior Health Ministry official said.

"The secret here of success is not to prevent the cases to be introduced to the community... the success is to control the transmission within health facilities," Abdulaziz bin Saeed, undersecretary for public health told Reuters.

He added that medical personnel may have relaxed their infection control standards after the kingdom's last outbreak before the summer ebbed, but that the ministry had intervened to improve procedures in Taif hospitals...
