2. What are disease outbreak
• Outbreak is a term used in epidemiology to
describe an occurrence of disease greater
than would otherwise be expected at a
particular time and place. It may affect a small
and localized group or impact upon thousands
of people across an entire continent. Two
linked cases of a rare infectious disease may
be sufficient to constitute an outbreak.

3. SARS outbreaks in 2003 affected
tourism in Singapore
• The tourism in singapore drop as lots of people are afraid to
go to singapore
• There is no travel alert issued by the WHO against travel to
Singapore . The country continues to be vigilant against any
outbreak of SARS in other parts of the world or within the
country itself.
• Given that the last SARS case in the world was isolated on
22 April 2004 and with the onset of a warmer climate in the
Northern Hemisphere in the coming months, Singapore 's
Ministry of Health is of the view that there is currently
minimal SARS-related public health threat to Singapore . As
such, the authorities have ceased the temperature
screening measures at Singapore 's border checkpoints.

4. Feedback
• Great pictures used! A picture speaks a thousand
words.
• Short and concise definition of disease outbreak
• The sentences in red are the valid points related to the
question, the rest of the information are seemingly
copied from some news article. It is not necessary to
mention about the threats of SARS.
• Focus more on how Tourism is being affected directly
when SARS hits, eg Tourist numbers decrease
drastically. Or can mention what the government is
doing to intervene to help tourism growth during SARS
time.
