Since there is currently no medication to treat SARS, the only effective strategy is to keep people away from affected areas, to isolate infected persons, and to not give the virus any chance to find new hosts so that it dies out naturally.
此外，目前 SARS 既然無藥可醫，因此遠離疫區、隔離病患，讓病毒無法找到下一個宿主而自然滅絕，就成為唯一最有效的防疫手段。
