Saudis report third case of new coronavirus, but release few details

The government of Saudi Arabia has announced it has found another human case of infection with the new coronavirus that emerged earlier this year.

The virus is from the same family as SARS.

The Saudi Press Agency says the Ministry of Health has confirmed the infection was diagnosed in a man who lives in the capital city, Riyadh.

The news item contained few details, but did reveal the man appears to be recovering.

The first case of infection with the new virus was found in Riyadh in June; that man died.

A second infection was spotted in a man from Qatar who was flown for treatment to England, where he remains in hospital.
