Everyone has a role to play to check SARS

THE outbreak of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in the region still shows no sign of abating. More cases continue to be reported in some countries as health workers struggle to contain its spread. 

What makes things more worrying in recent days is that the infection no longer centres on family members and caregivers – those nearest to the infected persons – but has become less discriminate, with even casual contacts being stricken.
