WHO reports "probable" cases of NCoV?

In the article by Helen Branswell that Treyfish posted yesterday, there is mention of "nearly a dozen cases the WHO considers "probable" infections".

I have searched pretty thoroughly and I can't find any reference to this from any other source - even in the statements and updates released from the WHO. Did I miss something somewhere? If so, could some one please point me in the right direction? :)

Do we know anything about these cases? Are they perhaps referring to the cluster in Jordan last year? Or... ?

I find myself echoing the words of Johnny Five: "Need more input!"

:D

Most of them are indeed the other cases from Jordan. There is also a probable case from a family cluster from Saudi Arabia (that contains confirmed cases #4, 6, 7), and now apparently one from the UK cluster containing cases #10, 11, and 12.

Thanks alert. :)

That's what I figured but I guess I missed the memo where the WHO officially designated the Jordan cluster as "probable cases". ;)

So that makes the case count 13 confirmed, 7 of which were fatal, and 12 probable?

It might be a good idea to include the 12 probable in the Known Case List sticky thread now, before things get too confusing.
