| Carol, Are you still there??? I have seen several reports saying that WHO has consider Jiangsu to be a Sars-affected area. I am a bit puzzled by that, on the face of government statistics. ;-) But apparently, Jiangsu is not on the official list, it is more of an 'off-the-cuff' comment that the situation is serious. Here is excerpt from Strait Times (Singapore). The actual article will be delinked within three days of publication. Summary - WHO has warned against non-essential travel to Hebei in northern China. The announcement brings to six the number of regions in mainland China on WHO's travel advisory. The others are Beijing, Guangdong, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and Tianjin. It said it also considered the potential for spread beyond the province. Hebei, near Beijing, was the hardest hit of the five Chinese regions, including Jilin, Hubei, Shaanxi and Jiangsu, that WHO added on Thursday to its list of Sars-affected areas. http://straitstimes.asia1.com.sg/asia/story/0,4386,189743,00.html |
