Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus (MERS) was first reported in Saudi Arabia in 2012. It had a drastic impact on people causing severe illness and spread to more than twenty-five countries. Those suffering from the disease experienced acute respiratory ailments, intense fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
The World Health Organization stated that people suffering from diabetes, acute lung disease, and kidney failure are vulnerable to MERS. They hold the view that one should avoid close contact with camels, cut back the intake of raw camel milk, urine and stop taking undercooked camel meat.
