  Several guidance documents for containment of SARS have been updated and posted on the CDC website. Significant changes are: 1) revision of our "72 hour observation rule" for exposed individuals who have symptoms but do not meet the case definition, and 2) recommendation to exclude from duty healthcare workers who have unprotected high risk exposures to patients with SARS.
