               CN-Hospitals Watch Diseases, Plan For Emergencies

   The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome, or MERS, has infected more than
   500 people since it was first identified in 2012. About 30 percent of
   those who contract it die. The steep increase in the number of cases in
   recent months, and the fact that people in Asia, Europe and North
   America have come down with the virus, have raised concern that the
   situation may worsen. VOA's Carol Pearson looks at how health officials
   are preparing for pandemics.
