The World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that it discovered a case of the potentially fatal Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which infects bats, camels, and people.
A 28-year-old man tested positive for MERS-CoV in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), according to officials in the Middle Eastern country. The WHO stated in a news release this week that it was notified of the case after the patient was admitted to the hospital in mid-June.
