As it is well known, the dynamics of the stochastic SIRS epidemic model with mass action is governed by a threshold $ \mathcal{R_S} $. If $ \mathcal{R_S}<1 $ the disease dies out from the population, while if $ \mathcal{R_S}> 1 $ the disease persists. However, when $ \mathcal{R_S} = 1 $, classical techniques used to study the asymptotic behaviour do not work any more. In this paper, we give answer to this open problem by using a new approach involving some adequate stopping times. Our results show that if $ \mathcal{R_S} = 1 $ then, small noises promote extinction while the large one promote persistence. So, it is exactly the opposite role of the noises in case when $ \mathcal{R_S}\neq 1 $.

Keywords: Stochastic threshold, SIRS epidemic model, Wiener process.
