Toronto is back on the World Health Organization's (WHO's) list of places affected by severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), following an outbreak of eight new cases and 26 suspected cases. Two people have died as part of the new outbreak, which comes just two weeks after the city had been removed from the WHO's list of SARS-affected areas. Toronto has the highest number of SARS cases outside of Asia; however, the city is not facing any WHO travel restrictions.
