Apparently Britain is cautioning their citizens returning from Qatar to monitor for symptoms caused from the MERS virus, which causes respiratory problems. Transmission rates are low, but it does kill up to a third of the people who get it. Contact with camels and camel products are common ways it is spread and a lot of the tourists have been taking camel rides and consuming camel products, which are common in Qatar.
