The Korean CDC has released a new update on their MERS outbreak, and while the translations are pretty rough, once again we are adding 5 more cases to the list.
- Three of these cases appear to secondary cases from the index case, with one of them #34 medical staff.
- Two cases #31 and #35 are tertiary (3rd generation or H2H2H) transmissions, one of which is medical staff.
A big hat tip goes to Sharon Sanders on FluTrackers for helping me work through these translations. There are some gaps in our understanding of these chains of transmission, so hopefully we'll get some better details on these cases in the hours to come.
I've reproduced the table and machine translation of the announcement of these new cases below.
