Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) continued to scare the public in Korea after a doctor at a well-known hospital in Seoul tested positive along with a noncommissioned officer at Osan Air Base.
The two infections announced Thursday raised concerns because the hospital in Seoul takes care of patients from across the country and the military is a community that should be able to isolate itself from health threats.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare Thursday announced six more cases of MERS, bringing the total number in Korea to 36. A third fatality was announced Thursday: an 82-year-old male patient at a hospital in Daejeon.
