Who is at risk for getting SARS?
Most exposures to SARS occur in healthcare facilities and households. Community transmission outside of these settings has been reported, but these occurred rarely. Persons at risk in healthcare facilities include healthcare workers, patients, and visitors. In households, the greatest risk is to family members of SARS patients. In addition, it is possible that SARS virus might be spread more broadly through the air or by other ways that are not yet known.
