SARS

How is SARS transmitted?



SARS

Globalization has brought us a wealth of advantages: diverse cuisine, new travel opportunities, faster technological growth and much more. However, with increased travel of people and goods to locations all across the globe, we have created an avenue for disease to spread in ways unmatched at any point in the history of mankind.

 

The real present-day threat of a highly infectious disease that spreads quickly across the globe has forced governments and regulatory agencies to prepare for scenarios that were never possible before. SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is a disease for which these hypothetical concerns are a reality. It has taken a global effort to contain the SARS outbreak, and prevention efforts are ongoing to safeguard against similar future outbreaks.

At AllerAir Industries, a manufacturer of high-efficiency air purifiers, we receive regular inquiries about disease prevention. AllerAir units have been purchased by several hospitals, clinics, and research facilities including Johns Hopkins University and the Mayo Clinic. SARS is often a topic that is used as a reference in our discussions on infectious disease outbreaks, and we have created this resource to answer some of the questions about SARS and the prevention of future outbreaks of disease.
