SARS — Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome — was【1】for the first time in February 2003 in Hanoi,【2】since then has infected more than 1,600 people in 15 countries, killing 63.

Family members of infected people and medical workers who care for them have been most likely to【16】the illness. But recent developments in Hong Kong suggest that the【17】might spread through air, or that the virus might【18】for two to three hours on doorknobs or other【19】Health experts say it is【20】, though, that sharing an elevator briefly with an infected person would be enough to pass the virus.
