Summary

SARS is a severe viral illness that was first reported in Asia in February 2003. The illness is characterized by a variety of symptoms including fever, cough, shortness of breath. In a minority of patients (6-9 percent), SARS may even progress to death. SARS has been reported in North America among persons returning from travel to Asia, among healthcare workers, and among others in contact with individuals with SARS. Because new outbreaks may occur, workers should be aware of the recommended measures to prevent occupational SARS infection. The fact sheet goes over transmission, signs/symptoms, diagnosis/treatment, workplace policies/procedures, protective equipment, respirator considerations, and more.
