[YAKSON] SYMPTOMS OF MERSC AND PREVENTION

A patient with MERSC, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus, has appeared again last week since it first happened in Korea about three years ago.

MERSC, one of the deadly viruses in the world, has first occurred in 2012, in Saudi Arabia. The virus comes from a camel or the other animals and subsequently transfers to humans.

The symptoms of MERSC are high fever and difficulties in breathing.

And some of the patients often suffer from diarrhea and throwing up.

In the worst case, it would develop to the respiratory difficulty and renal insufficiency after 2~14days of latency and 70% of them might have to get the help of a respirator.

The reason of MERSC is not clearly defined yet, but most of the patients have been to the Middle East erea before they were infected by MERSC.

There is no method or any vaccine to cure this virus so far, so it is prevention that we can only do.

MERSC prevention

1. If your immune level is low(e.g. over than 65, pregnant, child, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure), you'd be better not go on travel.

2. Do not visit a farm during travel, and do not drink camel milk.

3. Put on a mask if you have to visit a place with many people.

4. Do not contact people who have a fever or breathing problem.

5. Wash your hands frequently with a soap or clean them with alcohol.

6. You should cover your mouth in case you sneeze or cough.

7. Do not touch your eyes, nose, mouth with an unwashed-hand. 

Take good care of yourself dear!
