SARS

Infection Control in Healthcare Settings

There is little reliable information about the duration of quarantine after discharge. In Singapore, all inpatients who were discharged from a hospital with previous SARS cases were under telephone surveillance for 21 days; all probable SARS inpatients and selected suspect SARS inpatients who recovered and were discharged were on home quarantine for 14 days (MMWR 52; 405-11).
