10 suspected MERS cases test
negative
All 10 people who had shown
symptoms of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) tested negative for the
disease.
The Korea Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (KCDC) said Wednesday one person who came into close
contact with a MERS patient, as well as another nine people who came into
ordinary contact with him have all been released as they tested negative.
Reportedly, experts said that the
possible spread is most likely to have been contained as the 5-day incubation
period for MERS has passed.
The released people will further
be monitored by the KCDC as the longest incubation period reported is 14 days.
On Saturday, a 61-year-old man
was diagnosed with the disease after returning home from his visit to Kuwait.
