Hi All,

I have heard there is a new virus claiming a no. of lives in Saudia known as Coronavirus or SARS, a respiratory syndrome.

Does anyone know about it, what are the precautions and how much is its influence in Riyadh. I will be coming to Riyadh next month so kinda scared and what vaccination can help?

Don't you worry. There were cases in Jeddah but not a single one reported from here in Riyadh.

Ameen - It's such an obnoxious virus. And the middle eastern version is a weird evolution. They've named it CoronaVirus ME.

That's why Coronavirus is written without a space in-between.

I am exposed to a patient with corona virus a month ago and was not aware that the patient is carrying the disease. All I did is drink a lot of water and was negative of any symptom.
