Even though the COVID epidemic may have ended, the virus is still spreading over the planet. On Monday, the WHO announced a new case of MERS-CoV in Abu Dhabi.

The Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which has the potential to be lethal, was discovered in a man in his twenties after he was taken to the hospital last month, according to the World Health Organization.
