The MOHW created a MERS portal website in Korean and English on 10 June 2015; in addition, the existing MOHW website provided English-language press releases beginning 28 May. A toll-free telephone hotline also started service in English on 12 June; it expanded to include 18 other foreign languages on 15 June. This report describes the usage of these multi-language communication channels during this MERS outbreak.
