NEW DELHI: Indians will worry, given the general state of public health administration, about the effectiveness of quarantine and isolation procedures following the scare about the rogue pneumonia virus. 

That no one suffering from this pathogen’s effect, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), has officially been identified as entering India from East Asia or other regions is no consolation. It takes one undetected entry and one sloppy health administrator for a crisis to begin.
