All Things Considered’s Lorna Benson talks with Nora Tallus, one of six women's college hockey players from the University of Minnesota-Duluth who returned from China and find themselves quarantined in case they contracted Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome, aka SARS. The players were in Beijing to compete in the women's world championships, but the event was canceled over fears of spreading the disease.
The women are not being quarantined by the state Health Department. But in a joint decision with their coaches, they decided it would be best to stay inside together for the disease's 2-to-10 day incubation period.
