South Korea has announced it will set up
designated clinics in all major cities to treat Middle
East Respiratory Syndrome, as President Park
Geun-hye postponed a planned trip to the US amid
growing public alarm over the out break.
As the death toll rose to nine and the number of confirmed cases of MERS rose to 103 on Wednesday, Al Jazeera’s Harry Fawcett, reporting from Seoul, said a deputy prime minister told people with MERS symptoms to not present themselves at hospital.
Instead, they were told to contact authorities.
Aljazeera’s correspondent said the outbreak had spread “very much from hospital to hospital”, with 47 of the 103 cases now confirmed to have been contracted at Seoul’s Samsung Medical Center.
