Vice Premier: SARS prevention must continue
( 2003-06-27 10:43) (Xinhua)
Vice Premier Wu Yi called for continuing strong efforts to consolidate the
progress made during the fight against the severe acute respiratory syndrome
(SARS) at a conference held Thursday in Beijing.
The China national anti-SARS headquarters has issued a circular containing
new regulations which effectively standardize prevention measures throughout the
country. These regulations should be implemented to the letter, said Wu, also
the headquarters' chief official.
The World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday removed Beijing from its list
of SARS-infected areas and lifted its travel advisory against the city, marking
the triumph of Beijing's anti- SARS campaign, said the official, adding that
preventive work throughout the country should continue.
The headquarters will soon dispatch some 15 groups to inspect SARS prevention
work in all provinces and areas throughout the nation.
