韓國再增七名MERS病例

Seven new cases of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, have been confirmed in South Korea, taking the total to 145, the country's Ministry of Health and Welfare said Sunday.

韓國保健福祉部14日表示，韓國新增7例中東呼吸綜合徵(MERS)病例，確診患者增至145人。

Fifteen people died from the virus so far, 10 have recovered after being infected and 120 are under treatment, the ministry said.

截至目前，有15人死亡，10人痊癒，120人正在接受治療。

The Samsung Medical Center, a prominent hospital in Seoul, suspended most services on Sunday to focus on stopping MERS after being identified as the epicenter of the spread of MERS.

首爾一家著名醫院——三星首爾醫院被發現已成爲MERS疫情擴散的集中源頭。14日，該醫院叫停了大部分服務，希望能阻止疫情發展。

The outbreak has sparked international concern, shuttered more than 3,000 schools and stalled the country's economy.

這場全球關注的疫情使得韓國超過3千所學校關閉，經濟陷於停滯狀態。
