Information about SARS
As many are aware, a new disease emerged in the Far East in late 2002. SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, rapidly spread and affected people in many parts of the world, including the United States and Canada. Almost all cases in the United States were the result of exposure while traveling abroad.
The New York State Department of Health has asked Sarah Lawrence College, along with all residential schools, to distribute information to the entire college community regarding SARS due to our high incidence of personal and professional international travel. The links below include important information about how to monitor yourself for possible SARS symptoms after traveling abroad as well as ways you can help prevent the spread of this disease.
If you have recently returned from abroad or are planning international travel, please familiarize yourself with the information sheet listed below. In addition, check with the following resources for information that can help protect you, your loved ones, and the Sarah Lawrence Community.
