韩国再增七名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.

韩国保健福祉部14日表示，韩国新增7例中东呼吸综合征(MERS)病例，确诊患者增至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人痊愈，120人正在接受治疗。

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.

首尔一家著名医院——三星首尔医院被发现已成为MERS疫情扩散的集中源头。14日，该医院叫停了大部分服务，希望能阻止疫情发展。

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

这场全球关注的疫情使得韩国超过3千所学校关闭，经济陷于停滞状态。
