In response to which disease was the need for appropriate respiratory protection highlighted in Southeast Asia and Canada?

Ebola
Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)
Zika Virus
Influenza A (H1N1)

The correct answer is: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)

In Southeast Asia and Canada, there was an outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003. This disease spread rapidly and caused many deaths, highlighting the need for appropriate respiratory protection. The other options listed, such as Ebola, Zika Virus, and Influenza A, did not have significant outbreaks or outbreaks in those specific regions during that time period.
