UK health chiefs have issued a warning to look out for the symptoms of 'camel flu' as football fans return from the World Cup in Qatar to the UK. The disease, formally known as Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome (Mers) can cause fever, coughing diarrhea and vomiting, according to the UK Health Security Agency.
Symptoms can also look like a cold, flu or Covid. Anyone who has the symptoms after returning from Qatar should seek medical help and make doctors aware of your travel history.
A third of people diagnosed with Mers have died, and there is no specific cure or treatment.
