NK troops disguised as 'indigenous' people in Far East for combat against Ukraine: report
A female United Arab Emirates national is undergoing tests in Korea for Middle East respiratory syndrome, a local daily reported Wednesday, but she left the hospital for a few hours after reporting her symptoms.
The woman, whose identity remains withheld, arrived in Korea on Friday, and on Wednesday at 2 a.m. she reported to Kangbuk Samsung Hospital in Seoul with a severe fever.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said her whereabouts had been tracked down and that they are preparing to send the patient to the National Medical Center for further medical checks.
In Korea, 310 cases of suspected MERS were reported in 2016 so far. Out of 76 suspected patients all were determined negative.
