Sars War: Combating The Disease

On 12 March 2003, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a global alert on a new pneumonia-like disease called Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which is potentially fatal and highly contagious. The disease spread quickly globally, aided by globalization and air travel, affecting countries such as China, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Singapore, Canada, the US, and parts of Europe, with many infections and deaths. This book traces the SARS outbreak, focusing on affected regions, covering how the disease spreads, government reactions, societal responses, and the efforts of health experts to identify and contain the virus. It includes guidelines on how individuals and organizations can reduce the risk of infection, preventive measures from health authorities, and herbal remedies recommended by Chinese physicians. The book provides insights from experts and aims to offer critical information about SARS and prevention strategies.
