Suggested Criteria for Medical Screening for SARS

PWH Medical experts and UHS advise that medical screening should only be limited to those who meet ALL of the following criteria (not one, but three criteria)

  1.  Fever; 
    AND
  2. One or more respiratory symptoms including cough, shortness of breath, difficulty in breathing; 
    AND
  3. Close contact* with a confirmed SARS patient. Close contact means care for, having lived with, or having direct contact with respiratory secretions and body fluids of a confirmed SARS patient.

Medical screening for anybody NOT having the above 3 conditions is not necessary and should not come to UHS.

 Note: If you are not feeling well otherwise, you can continue to have medical consultation in UHS.
