Document: We attempted to contact all cases preliminarily classified as sporadic for telephone interview using a standardized questionnaire. Questions assessed activities during the exposure period, including contact with a healthcare setting, a known MERS-CoV case, or an individual with severe respiratory illness. All interviews were conducted in Arabic by Field Epidemiology Training Program residents in SA. Whenever possible, interviews were conducted with case-patients; however, proxies (relatives or close friends familiar with the case-patient's recent activities) were used in the circumstance of deceased individuals, individuals in hospital or too ill to respond, or when casepatients were otherwise unavailable.
