Several countries in the Middle East and around 22 countries worldwide have reported cases of human infection with the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV). The exceptionally high fatality rate resulting from MERS-CoV infection in conjunction with the paucity of knowledge about this emerging virus has led to major public and international concern. Within the framework of the national acute respiratory illness surveillance, the Ministry of Health in the Sultanate of Oman has announced two confirmed cases of MERS-CoV to date. The aim of this report is to describe the epidemiological aspects of these two cases and to highlight the importance of public health preparedness and response. The absence of secondary cases among contacts of the reported cases can be seen as evidence of the effectiveness of infection prevention and control precautions as an important pillar of the national preparedness and response plan applied in the health care institutions in Oman.
中东地区的几个国家以及全球约22个国家报告了人类感染中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒（MERS-CoV）的病例。MERS-CoV感染导致的极高死亡率，再加上对这种新出现病毒的了解匮乏，引发了公众和国际社会的高度关注。在国家急性呼吸道疾病监测框架内，阿曼苏丹国卫生部迄今已宣布两例MERS-CoV确诊病例。本报告旨在描述这两例病例的流行病学特征，并强调公共卫生防范与应对的重要性。在报告病例的接触者中未出现二代病例，这可被视为感染预防与控制措施有效性的证据，而这些措施是阿曼医疗机构实施的国家防范与应对计划的重要支柱。
