This is a very dangerous message from the Director-General of the Executive Board of GCC Health Ministers.

The most recent Saudi coronavirus MERS case was a healthcare worker. Most likely this person contracted this disease in a healthcare setting. This implies other cases exist.

#860 - Male, 60, Expat, health care worker hospitalized in ICU - Jubail, Saudi Arabia


In my opinion both Bahrain and Saudi Arabia are human rights violators. Saudi Arabia has recently given long prison sentences to people who advocate human rights. Also, there is no freedom of press in either country. Women still can not vote or drive in Saudi Arabia.

So - why should they be truthful about any disease situation when they have no respect?
