On 12 March 2003, the World Health Organisation (WHO) issued a
global alert on the outbreak of a new form of pneumonia-like
disease with symptoms that are similar to those of the common flu.
This illness, officially known as severe acute respiratory syndrome
(SARS), is potentially fatal and highly contagious, and has spread
quickly to many parts of the world in a matter of a few weeks.
Aided by globalisation and the ease of air travel today, the
disease has now been reported in many countries, such as China,
Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Canada, the US and some parts of
Europe, with a large number of infections and a significant number
of deaths.In this book, the global SARS outbreak is traced and
described, with a focus on the regions where the most infections
have been identified. An overview of the whole saga is presented:
how the disease spreads; how governments react; how societies and
people cope and how health experts work fervently to identify the
virus and search for a cure.In addition, the book contains
guidelines on what a person or organisation can do to reduce the
risk of contracting the deadly illness. It includes precautionary
measures disseminated by various health authorities and preventive
herbal concoctions recommended by Chinese physicians, presented in
an easy-to-read manner. Furthermore, insights of experts are
provided.This book aims to give critical information on SARS. It is
a must for people who want to find out more about the disease and
how to reduce the risk of contracting it.
