South Korean doctor “ignores orders to stay away from people after being infected by coronavirus (MERS)”
A South Korean doctor is ignoring orders given him to stay away from people after his being infected by coronavirus (MERS) from one of his patients.
Officials in the Korean capital Seoul say that the doctor is continuing to work and attend meetings involving more than 1500 people.
Four people have died in South Korea because of their contracting the coronavirus, and 41 people were infected.
