Dear GeoSentinel Sites and Affiliate members,
We would like to alert all sites to the possibility of MERS spread beyond the Arabian peninsula given the recent World Cup and other events in the region. Given the very heavy respiratory infection burden this season in many locations, cases could be missed and might lead to transmission in crowded healthcare facilities.
An interesting viewpoint on the topic is here: The Qatar FIFA World Cup 2022 and camel pageant championships increase risk of MERS-CoV transmission and global spread – The Lancet Global Health
As always, please inform us (geosentinel@geosentinel.org) if you have any additional information or any potential MERS cases.
