There are no specific precautions against SARS, and the same measures that apply in epidemics of colds and flu should be taken. Thus, minimizing exposures to crowded rooms, and careful courtesies with coughers and sneezers are appropriate. Such people should be reminded to cover their nose and mouth or wear a mask and they should not shake hands or kiss. Wearing a mask may help the healthy, as would plenty of rest, the use of vitamins and eating moderately meals at regular intervals without alcohol.
