SARS itself leaked from the lab 4 times, once from a BSL-4 lab.

* SARS*, including the original SARS virus (3 times, per page) and SARS-CoV-2 (1 time, post-pandemic)
Actually I meant SARS-CoV-1 leaked 4 times, one of the events listed was actually 2 separate ones 2 weeks apart if you read the description.
