The Saudi Ministry of Health has clarified reports related to a virus causing severe respiratory illness.
In a statement issued from Riyadh, the Saudi Ministry of Health said that news circulating based on the World Health Organization report is misleading.
According to Saudi Deputy Health Minister Dr Abdullah Assiri, the World Health Organization report is of a routine nature.
The Saudi Ministry of Health said that after the coronavirus, cases of the MERS virus are at an extremely low level.
The ministry said that the health situation in the country is completely stable and the public does not need to be concerned about the virus.
