South Korea declares 'de facto end' to Mers virus
South Korea's Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn has declared a "de facto end" to the outbreak of the Middle East Respiratory Virus (Mers).
Mr Hwang said that as there had been no new infections for 23 days, the public "can now be free from worry".
He also apologised for the government's much-criticised response to the virus, which has killed 36 people in South Korea, Yonhap news agency reports.
