Canadian SARS
This just keeps getting better and better.
WHO lifted the travel ban based on there not being any new SARS cases in the last 20 days. Okey doaky. Let’s go to the facts. As of April 29, 2003, Health Canada has received reports of 346 probable or suspect cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in Canada. There have been 21 deaths in Canada. To date, transmission has been limited to specific transmission settings such as households, hospitals and specific community settings. The information contained in this update is based on the information available to Health Canada at this time.
The details of the cases to date are as follows:
* Ontario is reporting 144 probable and 118 suspect cases.
* British Columbia is reporting 4 probable and 67 suspect cases.
* New Brunswick is reporting 2 suspect cases.
* Saskatchewan is reporting 1 suspect case.
* Alberta is reporting 6 suspect cases.
* Prince Edward Island is reporting 4 suspect cases.
Total # of probables discharged or at home: 87
Total # of suspects discharged or at home: 163
These numbers are accurate as of 1:00 pm. Eastern Daylight Saving Time, April 29, 2003. For specific information on the provincial numbers, please contact the appropriate provincial health department. LOOK HERE
