An 80-year-old Dongdaemun-gu resident was diagnosed with MERS on 13th June around midnight and this made Dongdaemun-gu officers take prompt actions on it this morning. It was 28th May when the aged visited the emergency room of Samsung Medical Center (Irwon-dong, Gangnam-gu) and his visit to SMC ER was reported to the authorities on 9th June. From that day until the 12th, he was under quarantine.  As soon as his initial report on 9th, a Dongdaemun-gu officer promptly started supervising him and the Dongdaemun-gu Public Health Center asked his specimen thoroughly examined in labs. Until he was diagnosed with MERS, he was transferred and admitted to a designated hospital in Seoul to have him properly treated. Also, both his daughter and caregiver, major contacts, were quarantined. Dongdamun-gu staff will open an urgent press conference at 5th floor of Dongdamun-gu Hall at 11:00, 15 June and inform the residents in Dongdaemun-gu of how they have dealt with the initial Dongdaemun-gu resident and their measurement to prevent further infection. There are 40 number of Dongdaemun-gu residents who are now required to be supervised closely as they were at the same place with the first Dongdaemun-gu MERS diagnosed patient.

▶National Safe Hospitals(Gukmin Ansim Hospital): care for ordinary patients and patients with respiratory diseases while keeping them safe from MERS infections We are often sick by common cold or allergy. Sometimes we get homesick. :D But this MERS outbreak is not a common cold or homesick. It is a new type of virus that was found firstly in Middle East Region and somehow Korean people are getting scared of any chance that they may get exposed to MERS virus. Seoul City is now known to be the best tour site where foreign tourists can visit. (Reasons explained on http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2015/06/10/five-great-things-to-do-in-seoul-while-people-are-staying-home-for-fear-of-mers/)  I believe that there must be some expats or tourists who are sick currently but have no idea where to visit and see a doctor. Thankfully, the National Safe Hospital List (Kookmin Ansim Hospital List) was released on 12 June by the Ministry of Health & Welfare.
