Korean MERS Cluster – No New Cases

Koreacluster

 

# 10,238

 

The slowdown in case reports from Korea continues with the Korean CDC report – issued a couple of hours later than usual last night – showing no new cases, no new deaths, and six more people recovered and discharged.

 

There are, however, 106 patients still hospitalized, and 14 of those are in unstable condition.


While undeniably good news, the incubation period of MERS is assumed to be up to 14 days (and some media reports have suggested longer in Korea), meaning that we’ll need a substantial string of zero days before we can begin to celebrate a successful end to this outbreak.
