SARS began to expand in Hong Kong at the end of March. The first SARS patient of Hong Kong was a 33-year-old who lived in Shenzhen. Between 14th March 03 to 19th March 03, he visited his brother who lived in a flat of Block E of the Amoy Garden.

At the same time, he was having diarrhea and, of course, he used the toilet of his brother's home. He didn't know that he had SARS. So his brother, his sister-in-law and two nurses who attended to him at Prince of Wales Hospital subsequently developed SARS.
