South Korea on Sunday reported its fifth death from MERS as the Government vowed "all-out" measures to ease growing public fear over the largest outbreak outside Saudi Arabia.
The number of infections rose to 64 after 14 new cases, including one death, of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) were confirmed last night, the health ministry said.
All of the 14 were among group of 1,820 quarantined after being exposed to those diagnosed earlier, it added.
However, Busan city authorities reported an additional case in the country's southern port and second-largest city, sparking alarm that the outbreak may spread nationwide.
The case was not included among the 14 new infections confirmed by the health ministry.
