South Korea has a massive panic on its hands over Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), which has so far killed three people and left over 1,600 people in quarantine. Up to 7,000 tourists have canceled plans to visit the country.
An 82-year-old South Korean citizen who was initially taken to the hospital with suspected asthma and bacterial pneumonia, was diagnosed with the MERS virus in a post-mortem Wednesday night, the Health Ministry said.
The dead woman, who shared a room with other MERS-infected patients, became the 36th officially confirmed case of the virus in the country.
