SARS was identified first in China in November 2002 but the World Health Organisation (WHO) was notified of the outbreak in February and issued a global alert in March 2003 then in July 2003 declared SARS ‘contained’ though cases were reported until May 2004. Worldwide 8,000+ people were infected resulting in 774 deaths.

Coronavirus Pandemic The global COVID-19 pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was discovered in Wuhan, Hubei province in late December 2019. The same genus as SARS. It spread to other areas of Asia then worldwide in 2020.
