Seoul (AFP) - Two major 
hospitals in South Korea's capital suspended services to patients on 
Wednesday in a bid to stop the spread of MERS after four new cases of 
the deadly virus were reported.
The new cases 
of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome included two who were in the same 
hospital ward as other patients with the potentially deadly virus, 
Seoul's health ministry said.
The
 others were a nurse at Samsung Medical Centre in Seoul -- one of the 
epicentres of the outbreak -- and a relative of a patient who was 
hospitalised for an unspecified disease in a hospital in Pyeongtaek, 
south of Seoul, in early June.
Out
 of 179 people confirmed to have caught MERS, five were infected through
 unknown transmission routes outside hospitals, which have until now 
been at the epicentre of the outbreak, the ministry said.
