Breach of quarantine by SARS virus research worker
--------------------------------------------------
Taiwan's 1st SARS patient in 5 months didn't strictly quarantine himself at home as officials originally said he did, and 2 colleagues who had close contact with him have flown to America, officials said on Thu 18 Dec 2003. These developments raised more serious questions about decisions made by the patient, a 44 year old military scientist who officials say might have caught SARS while mishandling virus samples in his lab. Officials also have said he allegedly wasn't wearing safety gear, like a gown and gloves. Although the researcher suspected that he might have been exposed to the highly contagious virus, he kept his plans to go to Singapore on 7 Dec 2003 to attend a conference, officials said.

Singapore already has quarantined 70 people who had contact with the man. Taiwanese officials have issued quarantine orders for 25 people, including 3 Americans, one Japanese, and a Singaporean who flew with the scientist when he returned from Singapore on 10 Dec 2003. Officials said they were searching for the foreigners. So far, none of the quarantined has developed SARS symptoms, and officials have said the man was asymptomatic during his travels and probably didn't infect anyone.

When the patient tested positive for SARS on Wednesday, officials said that he had quarantined himself at home since developing a fever upon his return on 10 Dec 2003. But on Thu 18 Dec 2003, Shih Wen-yi, a spokesman for Taiwan's Center for Disease Control, told reporters that the man didn't stay at home the entire time. Shih said that the scientist spent the night at his work dormitory on 10 Dec 2003. The next day, his wife drove the researcher -- who wore a surgical mask -- to a suburban Taipei medical clinic, he said. After his check-up, the scientist went back home and waited 5 days before he went to a hospital, Shih said. This was a violation of guidelines that require SARS researchers to seek immediate hospital care, he said.

"Maybe our awareness campaign was not enough," said Shih, who declined to discuss possible disciplinary action. The clinic's receptionist and doctor have been quarantined along with 5 people related to the clinic's staff, Shih said. "There were no other patients in the clinic at the time," Shih said. The CDC official also said that 2 colleagues who went to Singapore with the researcher traveled to the United States on 10 Dec 2003, the same day they returned to Taiwan. The colleagues, who worked for the Ministry of Defense, have been ordered to return to Taiwan on Sunday, said Shih, who wouldn't say where the men were in America. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was monitoring the men, who have shown no SARS symptoms, he said.

As Taiwanese recovered from the initial scare of the possible return of SARS, the focus turned to the scientist's mistakes. Officials have said that he might have been infected by spilled virus samples while rushing to clean his laboratory. Shih declined to discuss the lab conditions and a claim by the World Health Organization that the researcher wasn't wearing protective gear. An investigative report would be released in 3 days, he said.

Defense Minister Tang Yiau-ming defended the researcher, who was testing how SARS responds to different medicines. Tang said that the researcher had his wife, 2 adult daughters, and father stay in separate homes after he got sick. "Because he performed this dangerous work, he understands its danger, so he exerted the utmost effort to prevent (mistakes)," Tang said. But Tang acknowledged that mistakes were made.
