THE INCIDENCE OF MERS-CORONA VIRUS AMONG HEALTH PROVIDERS IN SAUDI ARABIA ESPECIALLY ICU DOCTORS.

This paper is aimed at doing extensive research on the impacts of MERS-CoV among the healthcare providers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The paper starts by doing research on the theoretical foundations of the existence of MERS-CoV across the world. It draws examples from the previous cases noted. The first case was reported in the year 2012 in the Middle East though it later spread to Europe and North Africa. Since the research is mainly centered in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this paper contains some of the responses made by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in fighting this virus. It includes the measures that have been put in place to deal with the spread of this virus among the healthcare providers, particularly those in the ICU section. Laboratory findings are also necessary to provide a practical approach to the management and the containment of the spread of new infections among the healthcare workers.
