Notes:
Cumulative number of cases includes number of deaths.
As SARS is a diagnosis of exclusion, the status of a reported case may change over time. This means that previously reported cases may be discarded after further investigation and follow-up.
*National public health authorities report to WHO on the areas in which local chain(s) of transmission is/are occurring. These areas are provided on the list of Affected Areas.
+ 792 cases, including 31 deaths, reported from Guangdong Province cover the period 16 November 2002 to 28 February 2003. These cases were compiled from investigations as well as hospital reports and may include suspect as well as probable cases of SARS.
§Due to differences in the case definitions being used at a national level, probable cases are reported by all countries except the United States of America, which is reporting suspect cases under investigation.
**One death attributed to Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of China occurred in a case medically transferred from Viet Nam.
