Twelve of the infected people had direct contact with the index patient, whereas the remaining eight cases were a secondary infection. Those contracted the virus included immediate and extended family members, as well as neighbours.

The National Medical team, which conducts random screening, using mobile laboratory at various areas in the Kingdom in one such outing last week found that a 46-year-old expatriate man, who tested positive, was linked to 10 other positive cases. All of them were working in the same company.
