Two health workers at a hospital in Orlando, Florida who were exposed to a patient with a confirmed case of Mers have now begun showing symptoms, and one of the two healthcare workers have been hospitalised.
As the first US case of the MERS virus has been confirmed in a man who flew from Saudi Arabia to Chicago via the UK, health officials sought to advise Britons who may have traveled on the same flight as the affected passenger.
The man, a healthcare worker, traveled via a British Airways flight on April 24 from Riyadh to London, where he changed flights at Heathrow airport to fly to the US.
He landed in Chicago and took a bus to Indiana, before experiencing respiratory symptoms a few days later.
