What was done to contain the SARS outbreak in the U.S.?
To minimize the risk for SARS among U.S. residents, the public health system took careful and thorough precautions to prevent the spread of SARS. People who were suspected of having SARS were isolated from others and received care. People arriving from affected parts of the world (who might have been exposed to SARS) received information about SARS and instructions on what they should do if they became ill. SARS patients and their contacts were monitored to help prevent spread of the disease.
