Breaking news about sars

I'm happy to provide you with the latest information on SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome). However, I must inform you that SARS is a respiratory illness that was first identified in 2002-2003 and was declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) at the time. The outbreak was eventually brought under control through a combination of public health measures, including contact tracing, isolation, and quarantine.

As of now, there are no reported cases of SARS in the world, and the WHO has officially declared the SARS outbreak over. The last reported case of SARS was in June 2004.
