MERS signs going up at 22 airports

"The Transportation Security Administration, at the request of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is posting Middle East Respiratory Syndrome warning signs at 22 major U.S. airports, including O'Hare, after two cases of the virus have been reported in patients who traveled to Saudi Arabia.
The warning notes that the risk to most travelers is low but that people who get sick within 14 days of being in the Arabian Peninsula should call a doctor."
In addition to the signs at airports, ER rooms are now being instructed to ask if someone has been in the Middle East recently if someone comes in with flu-like symptoms.
Cheers.
