Mers outbreak: How South Korea is coping
From an economic slowdown to a curtailment in public social life, the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers) outbreak in South Korea has taken a toll beyond those killed or infected with the virus.
With 10 dead in South Korea, public confidence has faltered as authorities have failed to swiftly halt the spread of the disease. This has contributed to an atmosphere of uncertainty.
South Korean authorities have issued guidelines, advising people to "avoid visiting crowded places as much as possible" and to wear face masks in public. It has also advised against "close contact with people who have fever and heavy breathing".
Some buildings have set up temperature screening booths at their receptions.
