The ongoing outbreak of the middle east respiratory syndrome (MERS) in Korea has brought to the forefront the need for a country to be prepared for the deadly disease. The disease is caused by the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus - a virus discovered in 2012 that causes flu like symptoms that may be confused with other respiratory illnesses. Symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. Older patients, those with weakened immune systems and those with chronic diseases such as renal failure, diabetes and the like, are at an increased risk of getting the severe disease.
