"They should avoid farms and contact with animals, especially camels. They should also avoid medical environments with Mers patients," Ng said yesterday.

Health minister Dr Ko Wing-man explained why a travel alert was not yet necessary.

"All the confirmed Mers cases in South Korea are related to health care institutions, and there is no direct evidence of sustained transmission in the community … the [World Health Organisation] does not support any travel restrictions on South Korea," Ko said.

The number of cases in South Korea has risen to 30. A South Korean man with the virus triggered a Mers alert last week when he ignored warnings not to travel and flew into Hong Kong.

Eight Hospital Authority doctors are still training in South Korea, while 17 doctors have returned from there within the past two weeks. Although they have not displayed symptoms, they must follow precautions.

"They have to take their body temperature daily for the first 14 days upon coming back to Hong Kong. If any respiratory symptoms arise, they have to report to the infection control team in their hospital," said Dr Liu Shao-haei, chief manager of the authority.

The authority would also contact the eight doctors still in South Korea. They will return to Hong Kong on completion of their training programmes.

With medical institutions seen as the key in the spread of Mers in South Korea, the authority has put up signs in accident and emergency wards and general outpatient clinics, reminding people to wear masks and go to segregation areas if they have flu-like symptoms.
