Questions about CDA difference about numbers

THE HAGUE - The CDA in parliament sees a difference between the information from the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) and the World Health Organization on the outbreak of the disease numbers.

The Dutch RIVM reports that the dangerous virus can be transmitted from animals to man almost exclusively while the UN agency WHO says that the majority of human infections have gone to human.
The CDA Minister Edith Schippers (Health) Saturday asked for clarification. According to CDA MP Hanke Bruins Slot, this difference may be of great significance for how to deal with infections.
This week it was announced that the disease in the Netherlands for two people is established. The disease resurfaced in 2012 in Saudi Arabia. Dromedaries are the source of the virus.
The MP also wanted to know whether there are steps to follow for people who make a pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
Both Dutch patients, family members of each, are infected with the potentially deadly virus during the same trip to Saudi Arabia. They visited a dromedarissenboerderij. http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.telegraaf.nl%2Fbinnenland%2F22636508%2F___Opheldering_over_mers-virus___.html
