Abstract: Since 2012, the Middle East Respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has infected more than 2250 people worldwide. The number of MERS-CoV infections reported annually dropped substantially from 2016. Our analysis of case-based data suggests that 1465 MERS cases and 293-520 deaths might have been averted since 2016.
