Abstract
Saudi Arabia is one of the countries that has been affected by COVID-19. At the beginning of
March 2020, it revealed a steadily rising number of laboratory-confirmed cases. By 20th May
2020, 59,854 infected cases had been confirmed, with 329 deaths. To prevent a further
outbreak of COVID-19, this article discusses the current understanding of COVID-19 and
compares it with the outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) in 2012 in Saudi
Arabia. It also discusses the causes, transmission, symptoms, diagnosis, treatments and
prevention measures to identify an applicable measure to control COVID-19.
