2 Recognition of the dedication of health workers in all sectors to the control of this disease Recognition of the vital part that the people of Ontario, in particular, Toronto, have played in fighting SARS There have been setbacks but this should not detract from these extraordinary efforts

8 Costs of SARS Toronto economic effects e.g., at least $1B in GDP in 2003 Air grounding of many planes Loss of income and job security Fear and panic Loss of confidence Public health system Health care system
9 Percent experiencing problems while quarantined Toronto area residents who had been quarantined or had a friend or family member who had been quarantined (n=111) In general, being quarantined was a problem Specific Problems 24% 51% Emotional difficulties being confined 11% 26% Not getting paid because they missed work 10% 11% Major Problem Minor Problem Source: Harvard School of Public Health/Health, June 2003
10 Lessons 1 Human Security can be threatened by infectious disease threats Threats to social integrity, economic status and the health care system Vulnerability to travel advisories
11 Lessons 2 Complex health care system Multiple specialized institutions Transfers of patients, staff working in multiple institutions Emergency room pressures Pressures for long-term care beds Un-matched public health capacity Surveillance, investigation, infection control, information management, research,
12 Surveillance Needs to be integral to hospitals Contact tracing Needs to be intensive and rapid Quarantine Not clear how extensive needs to be in the community Infection control Needs to consistent Lessons 5
13 Lessons 4 Strong public health infrastructure is essential Within the health care system In the community At borders Public health response has to be balanced. In SARS is primarily a nosocomial infection
14 Lessons 6 Cross governmental response on health issues required Federal: workplace health, drug approval, transport, missions abroad, income support, economic support for individuals and business, customs & immigration, national defence, Federal, Provincial, Territorial Emergency preparedness e.g., pandemic influenza, assists greatly
15 Lessons 7 Clear communication of epidemiologic situation and control measures is essential to show control over situation Within and internationally Need for strong international cooperation is essential
16 Lessons 8 Advances in technology not necessarily the answer to short-term public health management Interpretation of test results for SARS- CoV still not clear The groundwork for a vaccine i.e., sequencing, is only the first step
17 Future National action resulting from recognition of need to strengthen public health capacity and infrastructure Strengthening at all levels of government is vital Public health strengthening should benefit disease prevention and control of communicable and non-communicable diseases and injuries, and health promotion
