Public fears are mounting after news of the first death from Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and the first cases of tertiary infection not caused by direct contact with the first confirmed patient.
Hospitals are emptying as people put off visits after learning that the infections took place at one hospital in Pyeongtaek south of Seoul.
Fears of infection were also evident at airports. Supplies of surgical masks and hand sanitizers were sold out at Gimpo Airport. A staffer at the pharmacy there said, “As fears of MERS became more serious this weekend, both locals and foreigners bought masks and hand sanitizers, leading to three times more sales than usual.”
