In an effort to deal with the transmission and onset of illness within health care and community settings, the province of Ontario designated a Provincial Operations Centre (POC), which was responsible for issuing directives to hospitals about patient care and infection control practices. Some had normal chest radiography with no infiltrates demonstrated (yet) but had symptoms of fever, headache, myalgia, and malaise, and 1 of 3 distinct exposures: they had either traveled to Vietnam, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, or Taiwan; they had been exposed to a person with SARS; or they had been a health care worker, patient, or visitor in a hospital in the GTA where there had been recorded cases of SARS transmission.	./cache/cord-007567-vst954ef.txt	./txt/cord-007567-vst954ef.txt
