Epidemiology and Demographics

As of November 30, 2012, nine laboratory confirmed cases have been reported to WHO - five from Saudi Arabia, two from Qatar, and two from Jordan. The onset of illness was between April - November 2012. Among the nine cases, five were fatal. Based on available information, the clinical picture consists of febrile illness and pneumonia.[1]

Five cases were associated with two clusters. The first cluster of two cases, both fatal, occurred near Amman, Jordan, in April 2012. Stored samples from these two cases tested positive retrospectively for the novel coronavirus. This cluster was temporally associated with cases of illness among workers in a hospital. A second cluster occurred in October, 2012, in Saudi Arabia. Of the four individuals in the household, three were laboratory confirmed cases, two of them died.

United States

  • There are no reports of anyone in United States getting infected and sick with the novel coronavirus. Risk of getting infected with this virus is estimated to be low.
  • WHO and CDC have not issued any travel alerts for countries in the Arabian Peninsula or neighboring countries. Risk of getting infected with the novel coronavirus while in these countries is estimated to be low.
