Four additional laboratory-confirmed cases have been identified; one of the four has died.
One case is in Qatar, the location of one of the original two cases earlier this year.
Three of the new cases, including the dead person, are in Saudi Arabia, site of the other original case (who also died).
Two of the three Saudi cases, including the dead person, are members of the same family.
In that family, two other people have also fallen ill, and one has died. The man who recovered showed no laboratory evidence of infection with the novel coronavirus. Analysis of the case of the person who died is continuing.
