   This case would have to be neg since there are no more new cases in South Korea.  Now, if this case were to be positive, then it would mean big cover up in South Korea, but we have to assume it will be neg.   

BANGKOK: — A Thai resident who just returned from a trip to 
South Korea is suspected of being infected by the Middle East 
Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).

The resident was one of four tested for MERS. The other three, who 
have just returned from a trip to China, have already tested negative.
A thorough lab test on the fourth patient is expected later Friday, 
said a health official in Chiang Mai who insisted that there was no 
reason to be panic. He said measures are in place to handle the 
situation.
Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha said that 69 hospitals in 
Thailand specialised in SARS and bird flu are now assigned to be 
watchful for MERS cases.
Asked if he was confident in keeping the situation under control, he 
shot back at reporters. “Can I give order to the disease? It’s up to all
 Thais who have to be on alert and contact the authorities if something 
suspicious happens. I can’t give order to the disease.”
