May 2, 2003 – CDC continues to work with
the World Health Organization (WHO) and other partners to investigate
cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). The majority of suspect
and probable cases of SARS in the United States continue to be travel
associated, with only limited secondary spread to contacts such as family
members and healthcare workers.
Careful attention to infection-control
precautions, both in home and health-care settings, remains critical
to preventing the spread of SARS.
