A senior Beijing official said Tuesday that Beijing's prevention
and control work against SARS will focus on four aspects.
Cai Fuchao, director of the publicity department of the Beijing
Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), made the
announcement at a press conference.
First, the municipal government planned to set up a shield for the
healthy people, protecting them from being infected.
Second, the clinics pertaining to fever patients will be
standardized so as to ensure proper layout of the clinics and avoid
possible cross-infection.
Third, the government will carry out close observation over people
who have close contacts with the SARS patients and improve work on
epidemic investigation.
Fourth, the government will make efforts to improve protection on
migrant workers in Beijing and the construction sites.
