Helen Branswell @HelenBranswell ? 21m
Good news that there are no signs yet of spread from the first US #MERS patients. But it is too soon to say no local spread has occurred.
Helen Branswell @HelenBranswell ? 23m
But because incubation period of #MERS is out to 14 days, healthcare workers will be tested later to make sure infection didn't occur 2/2
