Abstract： Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) has recently drawn worldwide attention since its nosocomial or suspected community-acquired clusters in South Korea,which has been the largest and the most complex outbreak of the Middle East Region since 2012.It is such a large fortune for China to be able to prevent effectively from MERS,not only by actively monitoring the Korean imported case based on the notification of WHO Western Pacific Region Office (WPRO),but also by properly quarantining a number of close contacts.Otherwise,China might undergo the same situation as in South Korea,or even worse,if the patient kept on traveling through Southern China or went to health care facilities without wearing any personal preventing equipment.To date,this laboratory-confirmed MERS patient has recovered and been discharged from hospital,and none of the close contacts (n =75)[1] has showed any associated symptoms,so lucky for him and China.
