All doctors can currently do is provide supportive medical care to try to prevent, control or relieve complications and side effects, as well as attempt to improve the patient's comfort and quality of life by relieving symptoms. Supportive care (supportive therapy) does not include treating or improving the illness/condition.
Travel advice has been provided to reduce the risk of MERS-CoV infection amongst travelers, which includes information such as:
There is an increased chance of illness for those travelers with pre-existing chronic conditions
There is an increased chance of illness for travelers suffering from flu and traveller's diarrhea
Frequent hand-washing is advised with soap and water
Avoid undercooked meat or food prepared under unhygienic conditions
Ensure fruit and vegetables are properly washed before consumption
If a traveller develops acute respiratory illness with fever, they should minimize close contact with others, wear a medical mask, sneeze into a tissue (making sure it is disposed of properly after use), or sneeze into their sleeve or flexed elbow
If in the first 14 days after returning from travel, a person develops acute respiratory illness with fever, they should seek immediate medical attention
All cases should be reported to the local health authorities to help with worldwide disease monitoring for MERS-CoV.
While MERS-CoV is contagious, the virus does not appear to pass between humans without close contact, for example, caring for a patient without protective precaution. Therefore, guidance should be pursued from a health care professional if symptoms materialize.
With so little still known about the virus strain, any advice or recommendation should be considered temporary and subject to change.
