MERS symptoms can range from mild to severe and can include fever, coughing, and shortness of breath. In severe cases, MERS can lead to pneumonia, kidney failure, and even death.

There is no specific treatment for MERS and there is no vaccine to prevent the illness. However, there are some measures that can be taken to reduce the risk of contracting MERS, such as washing hands often, avoiding close contact with sick people, and cleaning and disinfecting surfaces that may be contaminated with the virus.
