I have no idea the confirmed cases are among these suspected cases:

Saudi Arabia - 4 suspected novel coronavirus nCoV cases hospitalized in isolation in Qassim

Also this but his age does not fit the ages mentioned above:

Saudi Arabia - Man, 25, suspected novel coronavirus nCoV hospitalized in Ha'il, Ha'il Province - more tests pending

The Department of Health is monitoring five new novel coronavirus cases Saudi Arabia has reported to the World Health Organisation.

All five patients are from the country's eastern region, but are unrelated to the outbreak at a healthcare facility that began in April.

The patients had underlying medical conditions which required multiple hospital visits.

The first patient is a 56-year-old man who became ill on May 12 and died on May 20.

The second is an 85-year-old woman who became ill on May 17 and is in critical condition.

The third is a 76-year-old woman who became ill on May 24 and was discharged on May 27.

The fourth is a 77-year-old man who became ill on May 19 and died on May 26.

The fifth is a 73-year-old man who became ill on May 18 and died on May 26.

In addition, an 81-year-old woman from the outbreak at a healthcare facility has died.

In France, the first case involving a traveller from the United Arab Emirates has also died.

These bring the latest global number of confirmed cases to 49, including 27 deaths.

No human infection with this virus has been identified in Hong Kong.

This case seems off. How is a 76 year old with other health conditions sick for only 3 days? The dates are wrong:

#47 - Woman, 76, with underlying medical conditions, onset date May 24 and discharged from the hospital on May 27 - Saudi Arabia

"They're from the same town and from the same hospital," Memish said in an interview with The Canadian Press, adding the investigation into how the people became infected is ongoing...
