 MERS is a respiratory condition brought on by a coronavirus that was first discovered in Saudi Arabia in 2012. It is viewed as being riskier than COVID.

Threat Of "Camel Flu" At FIFA World Cup? The Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) virus is believed to be the origin of the "camel flu," according to health authorities.



Football fans returning from the FIFA World Cup in Qatar have been cautioned by health professionals throughout the world about the possibility of carrying the "camel flu," a respiratory infection brought on by the Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) virus. According to a warning on the website of the Australian Health Ministry, travellers from Qatar should be aware of the MERS virus and take precautions to lower their risk of infection by "observing good hygiene practises, avoiding close contacts with camels, and avoiding consuming uncooked meat or unpasteurized milk."

Doctors are also being urged by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) to keep an eye out for patients with fever and breathing issues.


The UKHSA has stated, according to Metro, "The risk of infection to UK residents is very low but may be increased in people with exposure to certain risk factors inside the region - such as exposure to camels."

Additionally, "person-to-person transmission" has been warned against, the site continued in its report.

Following an increase in MERS infections worldwide, advisories have been issued. According to UKHSA statistics, the World Health Organization (WHO) received reports of 2,600 laboratory-confirmed cases of MERS-CoV and 935 deaths that were related from April 2012 to October 2022.

what is MERS-COV.

According to the WHO website, it is a zoonotic virus, which means that it can spread between people and animals. The virus has been discovered and connected to human illnesses in dromedary camels in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, it was further said.


The WHO added that human-to-human transmission is conceivable and has typically happened in close relationships and in medical facilities. The international health organisation stated that there had been little human-to-human transmission outside of the healthcare environment.

According to WHO reports, deaths have occurred in 35% of MERS cases.

 Reduced access to routine healthcare and lower immunisation rates were two effects of the epidemic. As a result, the measles was deemed a "imminent concern in every corner of the world" by the World Health Organization in November 2022. In 2021, a record number of around 40 million kids missed at least one dose of the measles vaccine, according to their account. A respiratory virus causes measles. Similar to COVID, transmission is fueled by respiratory droplets and aerosols, which are transmitted from person to person (airborne transmission ). In mild cases, the infection causes a rash and fever. However, severe cases can result in pneumonia, blindness, and encephalitis (brain swelling). There are roughly 128,000 fatalities every year and 9 million cases.  The measles vaccine is quite effective, and it can be given alone or in conjunction with other shots like the mumps and rubella vaccines to form the MMR immunisation. The majority of nations use a two-dose regimen, wit...
