 Issuing Agency:   
 Description:  Today, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced additional information regarding the ongoing investigation of the first imported Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) case reported in the United States. An Illinois resident considered to have had close contact with the first case has one positive test result (antibody test) indicating past infection with MERS-CoV after exposure. Additional testing is being conducted to determine if that individual is infectious at this time. The Illinois resident did not seek or require medical care. However, local health officials have monitored his health daily since May 3 as part of the investigation. At this time, the Illinois resident is reported to be feeling well. Family members who had close contact with this individual are also being closely monitored and tested.
