Infection control and SARS transmission among healthcare workers, Taiwan.
Emerg Infect Dis. 2004 May; 10(5):895-8.EI

Abstract

This study found infrequent transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus to healthcare workers involved in the care of the first five case-patients in Taiwan, despite a substantial number of unprotected exposures. Nonetheless, given that SARS has been highly transmissible on some occasions, we still recommend strict precautions.
