What infection control measures are indicated with SARS?
Infection control practitioners (ICP) should be notified of all patients admitted with suspected SARS. Until the etiology and route of transmission of SARS is identified, hospital staff should follow the isolation precautions outlined below. Many ill persons are likely to report to the hospital emergency room or to their health care provider. With the assistance of ICP, isolation precautions should be specifically adapted to alternative care situations.
