Saudi Arabia has 26 more cases of MERS virus, 10 dead

Saudi Arabia confirmed 26 more cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), which has killed nearly a third of sufferers, and said 10 more people have died from the disease. The confirmations follow Egypt's announcement on Saturday that it had confirmed its first case of MERS in a man who had recently returned to the country from Riyadh, where he was working. The 143 cases announced since the start of April represent a 73 percent jump in total infections in Saudi Arabia this month. Two MERS patients died.
