[h=1]MERS infections in S. Korea rise to 126 with 4 more cases[/h] The number of South Koreans infected with the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) increased to 126 on Friday as four more cases were added, the health ministry said.
Four more people were tested positive for the MERS virus, bringing the total contagion number to 126, according to the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Among the new cases were three people contracting the virus from the 14th patient in three days from May 27 at the emergency room of the Samsung Medical Center in Seoul.
The remaining case was a 70-year-old woman who also caught the virus from the 14th patient at a hospital in Pyeongtaek, some 60 km south of Seoul.
The 14th patient, called super spreader, has infected more than 60 people at the Samsung hospital.

South Korea confirms 11th MERS death

Fear of an epidemic grew across the country as authorities remained uncertain about where a 36-year-old policeman ― confirmed as a MERS patient Thursday ― had caught the virus. They said there was a possibility he caught the virus from Korea?s 52nd MERS patient while visiting Pyeongtaek Bagae Hospital on May 31.

But the authorities? speculation was rebuffed later by the hospital, which said that patient No. 52 and the policeman never crossed paths at the hospital. The hospital surveillance records showed that the former had visited the hospital 17 minutes after the policeman left the facility.

Experts are raising the possibility of the virus having been already released among the general public, with the policeman having been infected via some other unknown source. As of Friday afternoon, the authorities have said all infections occurred within hospital walls.
...
?We cannot rule out the possibility of MERS being spread to the general public,? said Lee Jae-gap, an infectious disease expert at the Hallym University Kangdong Sacred Heart Hospital. But Lee, a civilian expert who is part of the government?s response team, said the possibility of a wide-scale infection remains slim.

The special response team also confirmed four more MERS cases, bringing the total number of cases in the country to 126.

Three of the newly infected patients appear to have caught the virus at Samsung Medical Center in southern Seoul, while another patient ― a 70-year-old woman ― appears to have been infected at Pyeongtaek Goodmorning Hospital, according to the MERS special response team at the Health Ministry.
