MERS and Travel
CDC does not recommend that anyone change their travel plans because of MERS. The current CDC travel notice is an Alert (Level 2), which provides special precautions for travelers. Because spread of MERS has occurred in healthcare settings, the alert advises travelers going to countries in or near the Arabian Peninsula to provide healthcare services to practice CDC’s recommendations for infection control of confirmed or suspected cases and to monitor their health closely. Travelers who are going to the area for other reasons are advised to follow standard precautions, such as hand washing and avoiding contact with people who are ill.
MERS實際上從2012年就有了，但是當時的危害並不大。現在MERS重新抬頭，目前醫學界也沒有搞清楚究竟是為什麽。
就目前現有的證據，CDC對MERS的警告屬於二級。
ＣＤＣ ｔｒｅｖｅｌ ｎｏｔｉｃｅ ａｌｅｒｔ ｌｅｖｅｌ：
Warning (level 3)： Ａｖｏｉｄ ｎｏｎｅｓｓｅｎｔｉａｌ ｔｒａｖｅｌ，比如Ｅｂｏｌａ疫區
Alert (level 2)： Ｐｒａｃｔｉｃｅ ｅｎｈａｎｃｅｄ ｐｒｅｃａｕｔｉｏｎｓ。
Watch (level 1)： Ｐｒａｃｔｉｃｅ ｕｓｕａｌ ｐｒｅｃａｕｔｉｏｎｓ。
建議歸建議，最終的決定還是需要自己定奪。
有些人可能不願意冒任何風險，會想盡辦法取消旅行；有些人可能認為隻要自己多注意，就能夠避免。
所以，如果有疑惑，可以跟自己的家庭醫生商量一下，根據自己的健康狀況，來做出一個適合自己的決定。
