My Way News - Virus-hit Saudi Arabia asks pilgrims to wear masks
My Way News reports: "Saudi Arabia, the epicenter of a new respiratory virus, asked Friday that pilgrims coming from across the Muslim world to visit its holy sites wear face masks in crowded places. [...] Saudi Arabia announced two deaths on Sunday, bringing to 38 the number of deadly cases in the kingdom. The new virus is related to SARS, which killed some 800 people in a global outbreak in 2003. It belongs to a family of viruses that most often cause the common cold."
