As if the story weren't convoluted enough, there is also an unconfirmed media report (see FluTrackers South Korea - Media report: Confirmed coronavirus MERS case rode on a bus for 1.5 hours while symptomatic - June 1, 2015) that - if true - could have resulted in additional exposures to the virus outside of the hospital.
Hopefully we'll get an English language report that will help clarify this story.
Thus far we've not seen any community acquired cases of MERS in Korea, Hong Kong, or Mainland China. The next couple of weeks will be crucial in determining whether that status can be maintained.
