The deadly coronavirus that’s killed 38 people, mostly in Saudi Arabia, sickened four more in the world’s biggest oil exporter, including three health-care workers in the city of Taif, near Mecca.
The four patients have all recovered, Saudi Arabia’s health ministry said in a statement late yesterday. The ministry has tested 308 other samples over the past three days that were all negative for Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, or MERS-CoV, according to the statement.
