The Indiana man who became the first in the country to be sickened by MERS is improving. He was diagnosed last week after returning to the United States from Saudi Arabia, where he was a health care worker. No other cases have been reported.

Hospital staff members who had direct contact with him are in home isolation until the incubation period is over and they have negative lab results.
