The 44-year-old Korean man tested positive for MERS in Guangdong on May 29.
The man has had no fever for more than 10 days, and has tested negative for MERS twice.

MERS is a respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus. The first human case emerged in Saudi Arabia in 2012. There is no vaccine or treatment for the disease, which has a fatality rate of about 40 percent.
