Concern about SARS shut down a Toronto-area high school on Wednesday, sending staff and students into quarantine and raising fears the virus may have spread from hospitals to the broader community.
More than 6,400 people, including 2,000 from the school, are now in quarantine in the greater Toronto area after Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome resurfaced six days ago. Before then, Toronto had thought it had beaten the disease -- no new cases were reported from mid-April to mid-May.
Health officials said a student at the school appeared to have symptoms of SARS, and that prompted the quarantine call. One of the student's parents worked at Toronto's North York General Hospital, epicenter of the latest outbreak.
