SARS earliest known cases arose in November 2002; originally in southeast China. Since it's origin SARS has been reported in 17 countries, including a small number of cases in the United States. At the end of the Epidemic in June 2003 the incidence was 8422 cases with a case-fatality rate of 11% [1]
The SARS epidemic was a challenge to many public health workers and medical personnel because it was characterized by many broad respiratory symptoms, it was highly contagious, and it did not respond to antibiotics. [2]
Many public health interventions were taken to help control the spread of the disease; which is mainly spread through respiratory droplets in the air. These interventions included early detection of the disease, isolation of patients, droplet and contact precautions, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).[3]
