Since Patient Zero of MERS was diagnosed in May 20, 2015, cases of MERS continued to grow. The currentsituation, which people have been confirmed to be infected, suggested that contaminated indoor air could be thepotential cause of hospital-acquired infections. It is important to address the indoor air quality in hospitalsbecause pathogens can spread through air. While the heating, ventilating and air conditioning(HVAC) system isuseful managing indoor air quality in hospitals, it can transmit the pathogens if operated improperly. Therefore,it is necessary to remove contaminants in hospitals and operate the HVAC system according to the guidelines,in order to maintain clean indoor air.
