South Korea Hospitals to Monitor Emergency Room Visitors in Battle on MERS


SEOUL:  South Korea has ordered hospitals to track all emergency ward visitors, after a large outbreak of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) was blamed on difficulties locating every person exposed to the disease, the health ministry said on Jun 25.
