For an earlier and more informative graphic of the spread of MERS among cases in South Korea, see the links below. The first link is to an enumeration of South Korea cases. The second link is to an animated digraph of the relationship between cases, hospitals, and the direction of infections. The network graph was prepared by the digital data journalism team of the Korea Broadcasting System (KBS) and published online last year. The data was last updated by KBS in July 2015.
