The SARS outbreak was treated by keeping patients in quarantine so that the virus they carried could not be passed to others. It was also found that, in some cases, giving patients antibiotics helped their recovery. This possibly prevented any further lung infections from other (bacterial) pathogens. Research was started to find a vaccine against the virus that causes SARS.

In medieval times, prayers were said for the victims. People were not kept isolated and rats spread the infection throughout whole communities. Bodies were buried in Lime pits to try to prevent the infection travelling by what they called poison air.
