Risk of MERS spreading in Korea is low: WHO expert
- 6 years ago
The World Health Organization says... there’s a very low chance of MERS spreading in South Korea despite the one recent confirmed case of the virus.
Mike Ryan, the organization's assistant director-general for emergencies said,... Korea's response following a confirmed MERS case was very good and surprisingly different from three years ago in 2015.
He added that the possibility of MERS spreading in Korea is not zero, but is very low.
The organization's investigation into the spread of the virus is still ongoing.... and it will dispatch a team of experts to Korea as well.
Ryan pledged a full investigation to find where and how the Korean patient was exposed to MERS.
