This is the report of a committee established by Health Canada in the circumstances surrounding the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 2002-03. The mandate of the committee was to provide a third-party assessment of current public health efforts & lessons learned for ongoing & future infectious disease control. After an introduction on matters relating to emerging & re-emerging infectious diseases and the public health system, chapter 2 describes the history of the SARS outbreak from its beginnings in China through its severe impact on the public & health care workers in Toronto to its eventual coming under control. Chapter 3 reviews the role & organization of the public health system in Canada and includes some international comparisons. Subsequent chapters discuss & make recommendations related to enhancing the public health infrastructure; building capacity & co-ordination in national infectious disease surveillance, outbreak management, & emergency response; strengthening the role of laboratories in public health & public health emergencies; the supply & training of public health human resources; clinical & public health systems issues arising from the SARS outbreak in Toronto; legal & ethical issues raised by SARS & infectious diseases in Canada; lessons learned from SARS regarding emerging infectious disease research; international aspects of SARS; and the renewal of public health in Canada.

The emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in late 2002 and 2003 challenged the global public health community to confront a novel epidemic that spread rapidly from its origins in southern China until it had reached more than 25 other countries within a matter of months. In addition to the number of patients infected with the SARS virus, the disease had profound economic and political repercussions in many of the affected regions. Recent reports of isolated new SARS cases and a fear that the disease could reemerge and spread have put public health officials on high alert for any indications of possible new outbreaks. This report examines the response to SARS by public health systems in individual countries, the biology of the SARS coronavirus and related coronaviruses in animals, the economic and political fallout of the SARS epidemic, quarantine law and other public health measures that apply to combating infectious diseases, and the role of international organizations and scientific cooperation in halting the spread of SARS. The report provides an illuminating survey of findings from the epidemic, along with an assessment of what might be needed in order to contain any future outbreaks of SARS or other emerging infections.

During the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak of spring 2003, quarantine & isolation were used as tools to limit disease transmission on a scale unprecedented in several decades. This report uses the experience with SARS to highlight the broad legal & policy challenges in preparing for an outbreak of infectious disease (ID) or similar public health emergency. Identifies 12 key issues for public officials & other policymakers within 3 broad categories: legal & public health systems; public health & health care infrastructure; & law enforcement & ancillary services. These broad lessons learnedÓ provide the framework for considering the issues to address in preparing the U.S. for a serious outbreak of ID or similar public health emergency. Illus.

Former Ontario Chief Coroner James Young and infectious disease expert Dick Zoutman recount their efforts to contain the mysterious new disease. In answer to questions about "lessons from the past," several distinguished historians of epidemics examine how their knowledge of responses to older plagues influenced their perception of SARS. They also reflect on how the advent of SARS alters their views of the past. Finally, policy experts comment on possible changes to health care that the SARS experience suggests should be made.

Abstract: When SARS struck Taiwan in the spring of 2003, many people feared that the disease would spread through the health care system. As a result, outpatient medical visits fell by over 30 percent in the course of a few weeks. This paper examines how both public information (SARS incidence reports) and private information (the behavior and opinions of peers) contributed to this public reaction. We identify social learning through a difference-in-difference strategy that compares longtime community residents to recent arrivals, who are less socially connected. We find that people learned from both public and private sources during SARS. A dynamic simulation based on the regressions shows that social learning magnified and lengthened the response to SARS
