Not a lot of people are worried about it, but a couple thousand schools closed because it's a relatively new disease (MERS), and they don't know how it transmits (for sure)

There have been 36 confirmed cases of patients infected with MERS virus in South Korea, according to Reuters.

As a third death was reported this week, more than 900 schools have shut down in the country due to public fear over the largest outbreak of MERS outside of Saudi Arabia, according to the publication HindustanTimes.

“We are taking actions to prevent spread of the disease. But I don’t think citizens should be excessively fearful,” Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon told a news conference.

Despite the words of the mayor, increasing public concern is evident in the growing number of commuters reportedly seen wearing face masks on buses and subways. The South Korean government’s MERS hotline reportedly took more than 3,000 calls on Wednesday alone.
1,565 people who attended a May 30 meeting for a redevelopment project were reportedly asked to undergo voluntary quarantine by Seoul officials after learning that a doctor initially diagnosed with MERS on June 1 had attended the event.
Some people have reportedly been quarantined at home while others have been put in medical institutions.

South Korean President Park Geun-hye reportedly demanded that every measure be taken to stop the outbreak, which began two weeks ago after a South Korean man returned from a business trip to the Middle East.

As news of the outbreak began circulating, about 7,000 people from China, Hong Kong and Taiwan reportedly canceled trips to South Korea as of June 2, according to the Korea Tourism Organization.
From the five new South Korean cases that were reported Thursday, two were reportedly health workers who treated infected patients.

“We are in a war,” stated an official at a health center in Gangnam.

from the CDC website,

Most people confirmed to have MERS-CoV infection have had severe acute respiratory illness with symptoms of:

fever
cough
shortness of breath
Some people also had gastrointestinal symptoms including diarrhea and nausea/vomiting. For many people with MERS, more severe complications followed, such as pneumonia and kidney failure. About 3-4 out of every 10 people reported with MERS have died. Most of the people who died had an underlying medical condition. Some infected people had mild symptoms (such as cold-like symptoms) or no symptoms at all; they recovered.

Based on what researchers know so far, people with pre-existing medical conditions (also called comorbidities) may be more likely to become infected with MERS-CoV, or have a severe case. Pre-existing conditions from reported cases for which we have information have included diabetes; cancer; and chronic lung, heart, and kidney disease. Individuals with weakened immune systems are also at higher risk for getting MERS or having a severe case.

Based on information we have to date, the incubation period for MERS (time between when a person is exposed to MERS-CoV and when they start to have symptoms) is usually about 5 or 6 days, but can range from 2-14 days.
