What year was SARS in China?

SARS in China was in 2002.

The earliest SARS case was discovered in early November 2002. In early November 2002, the earliest SARS was discovered in Foshan City, Guangdong Province, China. Because the patient showed symptoms of pneumonia, it was classified as atypical pneumonia at the time, and the Chinese media generally referred to it as "SARS". Afterwards, the disease quickly spread to Hong Kong through tourism, business, and immigrants, and then spread from Hong Kong to Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, and Toronto in Canada.

The most serious period of SARS: In May 2003, the epidemic in Beijing and Hong Kong was the most severe. In the summer of 2003, the number of infected patients decreased day by day, and the disease was completely controlled. End date of SARS: On June 24, 2004, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced the lifting of the travel ban on Beijing, indicating that mainland China had won the battle against SARS.

The real reason for the disappearance of SARS:

The disappearance of SARS is inseparable from the efforts of the government and every citizen. The first is to strictly control the source of infection. The first SARS case appeared in Foshan City, Guangdong Province. Then it spread throughout Guangdong, and SARS cases appeared in many cities across the country. The government took this matter very seriously and immediately took emergency control measures, including mandatory isolation and treatment of SARS patients and suspected patients.

Also, the transmission route of SARS was cut off. It was precisely because of isolation and treatment that SARS, which once broke out on a large scale, was finally controlled and disappeared. Another reason is climate warming. The SARS virus dies quickly in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. Therefore, tropical countries have relatively few large-scale epidemics.
