Meanwhile, a South Korean man who had become China’s only confirmed case has recovered and was discharged yesterday, the Health Ministry said.

Under the new law, passed in parliament late on Thursday, people infected with the virus who lie to state investigators about how they came into contact with the disease will face a fine or a prison sentence.
“False testimony would entail up two years in prison or 20 million won (608,000 baht) in fines,” said the Health Ministry about the new law.
“False testimony would entail up two years in prison or 20 million won (608,000 baht) in fines,” said the Health Ministry about the new law.
It replaces the maximum 2 million-won fine that could be meted out to anyone who did not tell the truth under previous legislation.
“Interviewees will [now] feel compelled to provide honest answers,” the ministry said in a press statement.
The new law also strengthens officials’ power to restrict the movement of infected people and close contaminated facilities, with offenders who refuse to follow their orders also facing two years in prison or the fine.
The number of state health workers in charge of preventing outbreaks and tracing them will also be doubled to more than 60.

The legislation comes as South Korea’s government is facing criticism for failing to stop the Mers outbreak, which has now become the largest outside Saudi Arabia.
Critics say the lack of coordinated control among health authorities, hospitals and local governments, combined with an inadequate number of quarantine experts and shortfalls in expertise, are responsible for the failure to stem the virus in the initial stage of the outbreak.

Health authorities also came under fire for withholding the names of health facilities where the virus has been traced to, letting infected people go “doctor shopping” — visiting different hospitals to obtain second or third opinions, furthering the spread of the disease.

The country on Thursday announced a $14 billion stimulus package to boost the economy as the outbreak further dampened the already sagging economy, scaring away tourists and forcing consumers to stay home.
Two new fatalities were reported yesterday, the health ministry said — both women, aged 79 and 80, who had existing health conditions.
A doctor at Seoul’s Samsung Medical Centre, the hospital to which nearly half of all infections have been traced, was also confirmed to have contracted the disease.
The hospital earlier this week decided to extend indefinitely a 12-day suspension of normal services as patients, doctors and visitors continued to be diagnosed with the disease.
One patient, a 55-year-old ambulance driver at the Samsung Hospital, continued to go to work via subway for days after developing symptoms in early June, coming into contact with nearly 500 people.

Of those diagnosed, aside from the deceased, 81 have recovered and 69 are still being treated.
