Update #16 - Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
As of March 31, 2003, Health Canada has received reports of approximately129 probable or suspect cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta and New Brunswick. There have been four deaths in Canada. All Canadian cases have occurred in persons who have traveled to Asia or had contact with SARS cases in the household or in a health-care setting. The information contained in this update is based on the best available information Health Canada has at this time.
Health Canada is changing the way it is reporting probable and suspect cases of SARS to ensure consistency in reporting across the country.
"Probable" cases of SARS are similar to suspect cases, but often they have a more severe illness, with progressive shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, and in some cases, chest x-rays show signs of atypical pneumonia.
A "suspect" case of SARS is a person who fits into one of the following two categories: a person who develops fever and one or more respiratory symptoms, including cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, within 10 days of returning from travel to areas in Asia where SARS cases are being reported, or a person who develops fever and one or more respiratory symptoms, including cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, within 10 days of having had close contact with a "probable" case of SARS (i.e. within one metre).
The details of the cases to date are as follows:
Ontario is reporting 51 probable and 58 suspect cases. All cases have occurred in persons who have traveled to Asia or had contact with SARS cases in the household or in a health-care setting.
British Columbia is reporting 2 probable and 11 suspect cases.
New Brunswick is reporting one suspect case.
Saskatchewan is reporting one suspect case.
Alberta is reporting 5 suspect cases.
At this time, the cause of SARS remains unknown, however national and international laboratory testing and collaboration is ongoing.
Here are the most recent developments:
Due to the mounting concern about transmission of the SARS agent in non-hospital and community settings in the City of Hanoi, Vietnam; the People's Republic of China including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region; Singapore; and Taiwan, Health Canada recommends that persons planning to travel to these areas should defer all travel until further notice. Health Canada also recommends alternate routing be considered, when possible, if a traveller is transiting through the People's Republic of China including the Hong Kong Special Administrative; City of Hanoi, Vietnam; Singapore; or Taiwan. Health Canada is aware that health authorities in these affected areas are making concerted efforts to contain the spread of SARS in their populations. Given the uncertainties of the current situation, Health Canada believes it is prudent to await the outcome of national and international control measures before undertaking travel to these destinations.
