Spread of MERS is low, thanks to disease controls

South Korea urged to provide information on 'epidemic points' to aid in prevention

With tight disease control, the risk of MERS - Middle East respiratory syndrome - being spread in China remains low, although the outbreak in South Korea has been rapidly worsening in the past two weeks, according to the Guangdong provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

A South Korean visitor to Guangdong was confirmed to be the first MERS patient in China on May 29.
