During SARS1, 436 of Toronto's 850 paramedics were placed on a 10-day working quarantine.
During SARS2, over 400 more ( for some, it was their second time ) were placed on another 10-day working quarantine.
That meant full isolation when we got home. Continuously wearing an N95 respirator. Even with the N95 on, you had to stay at least 3 metres away from your family.
As per the Collective Agreement, during the working quarantine we were paid double-time.
SARS-like illnesses developed in 62 Toronto paramedics, and suspected or probable SARS requiring hospitalization developed in 4 others.
