CTV.ca | SARS detection system uncovered listeriosis outbreak

CTV.ca | SARS detection system uncovered listeriosis outbreak:

"Ontario's Chief Medical Officer of Health is crediting the system put in place following SARS with detecting the current listeriosis outbreak.

Dr. David C. Williams says a pattern began to emerge from health units across southern Ontario and when more cases than expected began to appear, officials were able to link them to one strain of the disease."

It's heartening to see that at least some lessons were learned after the SARS outbreak of a few years ago.
