SARS simply means severe acute respiratory syndrome. It is a sudden appearance of severe respiratory disease, its typical type of pneumonia, its origin is viral. This illness was first reported in China in April 2003 and spread to countries such as Hong Kong, Taiwan, the US, Vietnam, Singapore. There was a link by scientists between SARS patients and previously unrecognized coronaviruses.
To scatter
There are many ways that this disease can spread, but the main way is contact from people to people. People who take care of people suffering from SARS are more likely to be infected with this disease, so some people in SARS come into direct contact with infectious agents. If you touch the body (skin) of an object already contaminated with SARS infected persons or infected droplets and touching your eyes, nose, mouth using that same hand, disease will spread further. This happens when a person infected with SARS coughs or sneezes drops to themselves, other people or nearby places.
There is a possibility that this fatal disease will spread by air or other means, but this has not been established yet.
