(5 Jun 2015) Sales of surgical masks have surged in South Korea amid fears of a deadly, poorly understood MERS virus (Middle East Respiratory Syndrome).
More than 1,100 schools have closed and 1,600 people - and 17 camels in zoos - have been quarantined.
South Korean Health Minister, Moon Hyung-pyo, held a press conference on Friday morning apologising for the government's failure to contain the disease in the early stage of the outbreak.
The cases are linked to a 68-year-old man who travelled to the Middle East and came in for treatment at Pyeongtaek St. Mary's Hospital.
South Korea has seen more than 40 cases and four deaths, the largest outbreak in the world outside of Saudi Arabia, where most of the more than 1,100 cases have been and where the disease was first seen in 2012.
