About three-to-four people out of ten, who were reported to have contracted MERS have died, though most of those deceased were people who also had an underlying medical condition. Those with mild symptoms or no symptoms at all were highly likely to have recovered. The CDC states the incubation period as being about five or six days but can last for as many as 14. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside common symptoms of fever, coughing, and shortness of breath, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/262538.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medical News Today<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> also highlights the following associated symptoms:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chills<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chest pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Body aches<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sore throat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Malaise, or a general feeling of being unwell<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Headache<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diarrhea<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nausea and vomiting<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond that, serious complications can include organ failure (particularly the kidneys) and pneumonia. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What about MERS in Hong Kong?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/coconuts.co\/hongkong\/news\/hung-hom-mtr-disinfected-2-tourists-suspected-mers-take-intercity-train-guangzhou\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coconuts Hong Kong<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the MTR Corporation had to disinfect parts of Hung Hom Station and an intercity train after it was found that two passengers were hospitalized with suspected cases of MERS. A 48-year old man and his four-year-old granddaughter from Saudi Arabia had traveled from Guangzhou East, forcing authorities in both Hong Kong and China to take action and disinfect trains and stations. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pair were taken to Queen Elizabeth Hospital after arriving in Hong Kong and we said to be in a stable condition. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How do I protect myself?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With no vaccine against the illness yet, protecting yourself against MERS in Hong Kong takes little more than common sense and good hygiene. For a country that was previously devastated by a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC539564\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SARS<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> outbreak, public hygiene was strengthened so that it\u2019s common to see escalator handrails, elevator button pads, and ubiquitous signs reminding people to wash their hands and wear face masks when feeling ill. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hkupop.hku.hk\/english\/report\/postSARS\/content\/resources\/pr.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hong Kong University<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> survey did find that in 2013, ten years after the SARS epidemic, that a majority of Hong Kong people were relaxing their personal hygiene habits as the outbreak became a fading memory. Doctors urged back then that we should keep our strict personal hygiene up.

Travel to the Middle East and the Arabian Peninsula is not being advised against, but people should take extra precautions if their travel plans involve areas affected by MERS. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Will my insurance cover MERS sickness?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The good news is that a quality <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.hk\/health-insurance-plans\/individual\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">health insurance plan<\/a> should cover you for MERS in Hong Kong, should you catch it. There are some illnesses that insurers may explicitly exclude from coverage, which could either be communicated to you before you buy a policy or aftewards (e.g. an insurer may let clients know that it won\u2019t cover people for Ebola who ignore CDC warnings to avoid a specific country with a known outbreak). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s important to take away from this is that you should always keep your personal hygiene standards high, and know exactly what is in your health insurance policy.
