PHEIC was not invoked with the Middle Eastern Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak in 2013.[76][77] Originating in Saudi Arabia, MERS reached more than 24 countries and resulted in more than 580 deaths by 2015, although most cases WERE IN HOSPITAL SETTINGS rather than sustained community spread. As a result, what constitutes a PHEIC has been unclear.[14][6] As of May 2020, there had been 876 deaths.
