Mers outbreak in South Korea

A sixths person has died of Mers, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, in South Korea which makes it the most deaths out of the Middle East from this illness. A man in his 80's became the latest person to die which placed 2,300 people in quarentine and has closed nearly 1,900 schools. All the infections so far have been confined to hospitals with transmission occurring between patients, staff and their families in close contact. Medical authorities have been criticized by the way they are handling the outbreak. Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon accused the central government about not giving enough information to the citizens about the out break.
