Thanks Giuseppe. This announcement is actually 4 new cases. There is no previous case that is 74 years old, so the death reported here is a new case. The 74 year old listed first is hospitalized in ICU so presumably this person is not dead. It also appears that the 74 year old in ICU is from Al Batin.

2 are from Riyadh and the person who died is from Medina ("city area" in arabic).
