Notes: Data includes only cases whose death is attributed to SARS. The number of deaths attributed to SARS for China includes deaths in Hong Kong (299), Macao (0), and Taiwan (37).
Definitions: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS): A viral respiratory illness caused by a coronavirus, SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV). SARSCoV is believed to be an animal virus that crossed the species barrier to humans recently when ecological changes or changes in human behavior increased opportunities for human exposure to the virus and virus adaptation, enabling human-to-human transmission. It is believed to be transmitted by close person-to-person contact (defined as having cared for or lived with a person known to have SARS or having a high likelihood of direct contact with respiratory secretions and/or body fluids of a patient known to have SARS).
