The last reported probable case in Taiwan, and in the world was detected and isolated on 15 June. Two consecutive 10-day incubation periods have now passed with no further cases detected. This achievement means that all know chains of person-to-person transmission of the SARS virus have now been broken. On July 5th, WHO has removed Taiwan from the list of areas with recent local transmission of SARS. Nevertheless, WHO continues to receive rumors of possible cases, which indicates that surveillance systems are working well. To date, all recently reported possible cases have been aggressively investigated and determined to have other causes. El último caso probable notificado en Taiwán—y hasta el momento en el mundo— fue detectado y aislado el 15 de junio. Han transcurrido dos veces el periodo de incubación (10 días) y ningún otro caso ha sido detectado; lo cual significa que la cadena de transmisión persona-persona conocida ha sido interrumpida. El 5 de julio pasado, la OMS ha excluido a Taiwán de la lista de áreas con transmisión local reciente de SARS. No obstante, la OMS continua recibiendo rumores de posibles casos, lo cual indica que los sistemas de vigilancia continúan alerta. A la fecha, todos los casos recientemente notificados han sido exhaustivamente investigados.
