Hours before the World Cup final between France and Argentina, the French Football Federation announced that three players of the French national team were infected with the Camel flu or MERS-CoV. According to Mustafa, no scientific evidence has proved its transmission from one person to another until now. Unlike the recently spread COVID-19 virus this strain is rather transmitted from camels to humans. The seriousness of the virus lies in its high morality rate, which reaches 35 percent of all infected people, he added. He also added that the largest infection rate in one country was recorded in Seoul.
