MERS is a disease caused by novel corona virus and 35% of the infected people died. The transmission was through direct contact with the infected peoples. And the symptoms vary from common cold to respiratory distress. The group corona viruses mainly affect the respiratory system and respiratory distress is the major cause of death. The people with weak immune system, older people and those with co-morbid disease conditions are at high risk of severity.
