What is the risk to individuals who may have shared a plan or boat trip with a suspected SARS patient?
Cases of SARS continue to be reported primarily among people who have had direct close contact with an infected person, such as those sharing a household with a SARS patient and health-care workers who did not use infection control procedures while attending to a SARS patient. SARS also has occurred among air travelers, primarily travelers to and from Hong Kong, Hanoi, Singapore and mainland China. CDC is requesting locating information from travelers who are on flight with people suspects of having SARS. You should contact your local health department if you suspect that this has occurred, so that the health department can report this to the CDC and they can begin their investigation.
