6 SARS Cases in Shanghai Yes I did realize it was a Pakistan paper but can we say this is less reliable than other news reports? I can understand the crackdown in Beijing, Beijing has a huge problem compared to Nanjing. My friend went to Hunan Lu (Like the Nanjing Road of Shanghai)the other day, she says its like a ghost town, many shops are also closed. Our family are of those people in quarantine here, we get out of jail tomorrow. Then I am going out myself to see what is closed. |

6 SARS Cases in Shanghai THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. Important Notice: Jang Group of Newspapers web site can be accessed only by using http://www.jang.com.pk and http://www.jang-group.com China closes down 566 hotels, other venues Measures to prevent SARS from spreading SHANGHAI: Authorities in China's former capital Nanjing have shut 566 hotels, saunas, hair salons and Internet cafes in a bid to prevent SARS from spreading, state press and officials said Monday. The city has already quarantined 10,000 people. "We have implemented the measure in an attempt to prevent Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome from spreading," said an official from the Nanjing Tourism Administration Bureau who refused to be named. Another official surnamed Zhen added that people coming from Beijing, Guangdong, Shanxi and Inner Mongolia and other parts of the country severely affected by the pneumonia-like respiratory illness will be quarantined for 15 days. The province of Jiangsu, of which Nanjing is the capital, has confirmed only seven SARS case as well as 20 suspected infections, with the measures taken strictly precautionary, the China News Service said. The drastic action has raised concerns that the eastern city of 6.4 million people, which lies 290 kilometers (179 miles) northwest of China's major city Shanghai, could be under-reporting its SARS cases. A mass quarantine of 10,000 people last week came after a Chinese official travelling from Beijing to Nanjing reportedly ignored orders to register with local authorities and isolate himself for 10 days. Meanwhile, Health experts set out for China's poor rural hinterlands Monday in an attempt to check the spread of SARS as 21 new deaths from the virus were reported in China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. World Health Organization teams were fanning out across China in hopes of better understanding the spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome as fears rose the situation in the world's most populous nation could be much worse than previously admitted, a WHO official said. Up until now the WHO's focus has been on Beijing and the source of the outbreak in southern Guangdong province, two areas which have seen the largest number of cases. China reported 12 new SARS deaths and 75 new cases Monday, mostly in the capital, as fatalities leap back into double digits after several days of decline. Beijing authorities also announced thousands more residents had been placed under quarantine. The Beijing foreign affairs office said more than 23,000 people had been quarantined in the Chinese capital, an increase of more than 4,000 from the previous day. But the focus of attention is shifting increasingly to the countryside where primitive medical facilities and poor information are expected to hamper the battle to keep SARS from devastating the countryside. WHO officials said it was unknown why neighbouring provinces were reporting only a small number of cases, especially given the large flow of migrant workers. "That's why the teams are going out there because they don't know what's going on. If there is missing data, it (the real situation) may be much worse," WHO spokeswoman Mangai Balasegaram told AFP. Chinese officials and health experts have expressed hope that the number of cases will taper off following May, citing as an example Guangdong, which saw caseloads peak and then drop in the fourth month of its epidemic in February. ================================================ Previous World News Next The News International, Pakistan Update | Top Stories| Business | Karachi | Islamabad | Opinion Sports | Editorial | Cartoon | National | Lahore | Stocks | Newspost |

6 SARS Cases in Shanghai Dawn, sorry your boyfriend had to leave. We do already have SARS in our country but not to the extent of China. Most foreigners are afraid because of lack of information or false information. For instance we live in Nanjing, how many SARS cases here? we only have figures for Jiangsu (in english). In Hongkong you can get info on where people have been infected but here forget it. I hear from a friend one of our suspected cases is a woman taxi driver (maybe a rumour), we take taxis all the time. We cannot live on rumours its too dangerous. Also many websites reporting SARS in China are blocked, why? This creates more and more suspicion. |

6 SARS Cases in Shanghai TS, We have been quarantined by the chinese authorities. Our doctor has spoken personally to the doctor who is caring for these two people in France. He was very difficult to get in touch with because he is being harrassed by many people looking for information, maybe reporters I don't know. The doctor said both are in a serious condition. (contrary to rumours here that they only have a dose of flu). Obviously we are eager to know (this is why our doctor called) this is affecting many people here. If they are in a serious condition with flu then maybe we have two viruses to worry about and not just one. I'm sure we will know for sure soon. and.... yes we do have a balcony, my husband is making a BBQ for us :) My two sons however are driving us nuts because they can't go out or have their friends to visit. |

6 SARS Cases in Shanghai This week someone posted the report about the two frenchmen (suspected SARS cases) traveling from Nanjing. I thought at the time, although the expat community is small I didn't know these two people and no one here knew about it. Ha! it so happens now that we find ourselves in quarantine! A man in my husbands company was on the same flight so all who have been in contact with him are in quarantine, all 60 of us! We hear rumours yesterday that they do not have SARS but better obey the rules. Now today we have first hand news from France that both are in serious condition and probably do have the disease. I don't want to say too much here but people who should be in quarantine are not! The airlines are doing a better job of tracking people than the authorities!! One thing is for sure i see now first hand how things are being handled so goodbye China! I'm outa here. |

With SARS, All We Have is Time I didn't see your post because somehow i couldn't find my way back here. This story has been reported in many different newspapers and people here believe it 100%. If you read my other message, we are now in quarantine because of the two people who are sick in France. I pray that our friend who was on the same flight will remain healthy. Just when you think the disease is OUT THERE it may be on your doorstep. I am making plans to leave this is too much of a close call. |

With SARS, All We Have is Time Thanks to all who have been copying reports on the SARS situation in our area (Nanjing) I very much appreciate it. Anyone have an idea how long it is supposed to take to get a result for a SARS test. Germany have developed a test that only takes two hours for a result, is China using this method I wonder? |

With SARS, All We Have is Time Hi Caroline, Thanks for the advice. We used to take the train or bus to Shanghai but will definitely not be doing this agaib for a long time. Its kinda funny in a way how you become so much more conscious of other people coughing or sneezing. Actually Ive been sneezing all day, the disinfectant they use here is so strong it even makes my eyes burn. With all this disinfecting and masks I'm sure ALL other viruses are going to be spread less too. |

With SARS, All We Have is Time Gosh, thank you for the info. There aren't many expats living in Nanjing and most people know each other through the school or the expat club. If these two guys do have SARS I hope that Nanjing will be informed, I bet the Koreans won't be too impressed. Now my mind is ticking over, I'm trying to think of all the french companies we have here :) anyway if you hear anything else on this story please let me know. |

With SARS, All We Have is Time Hi Caroline, Yes we do wonder?? The one confirmed case here is a farm worker living close to the Nanjing airport. One suspected case was a CEO of a large company, his apartment block and company were put in quarantine. My chinese friend told me yesterday that there are now 7 confirmed cases (according to a newspaper) but this figure is denied by other sources?? Our apartment block is disinfected 4 times a day now, all visitors have to fill out a health questionaire before entering. Things are changing here daily. |

With SARS, All We Have is Time Hi, just found this site a few days ago,have been reading messages with interest. I am an expat living in Nanjing and wonder if anyone else from Nanjing comes on here. The SARS situation is very worrying for us here. So far we have only 1 case (that is what we are told!) also another suspected case resulting in a quarantine of over 200 people. If a chinese man working for my husband didn't tell us that he read it in the local paper we would be none the wiser. The very small english paper we get does not report the same information as we read on the WHO website either. When we spent a week in Hongkong a few weeks ago (with many SARS cases) I felt more safe than I do here. Simply because Hongkong were reporting the situation everyday, here we are skeptical. I see more and more masks being worn here and I wonder, do they know more than we do?. Something I find very sad is that many poor people don't believe that they will receive free treatment so prefer to run away when they have symptoms (articles read in Washington Post). I wonder how this disease will be contained when this sort of thing is happening. |
