Saudi Arab (BBN)-A Bangladeshi woman, in her 40s and whose identity was not known immediately, is among the five latest victims who died of Mers in Saudi Arabia.
A Saudi government statement said the latest five victims were two Saudi nationals, two elderly Palestinians and a Bangladeshi woman in her 40s, reports BBC.
With the fresh five deaths, Mers claimed a total of 92 people in Saudi Arabia, the report added.
It comes as Egypt recorded its first case, in a 27-year-old man who had recently returned from Saudi Arabia.
Saudi officials said 14 new cases had been detected in the kingdom, bringing the total to 313 since the virus first emerged there 18 months ago.
Mers causes symptoms including fever, pneumonia and kidney failure.
Egypt's health ministry said the man diagnosed there with Mers - Middle East Respiratory Syndrome - was from the Nile Delta and had been living in the Saudi capital, Riyadh.
He is being treated for pneumonia at a Cairo hospital and is in a stable condition, the ministry added.
