Virologists from the World Health Organization and Russia have
spoken highly of China's efforts to fight SARS.
At
a press conference in London, WHO virologist Mark Salter says
China's measures to control SARS have been effective and
responsible. He notes SARS can be controlled, only with early
detection and a complete surveillance system covering the whole
world.
Russian virologist Gennajyi Onishenko, who is in charge of the
country's disease prevention work, says China has made marvelous
achievements in containing SARS. He added so far Russia has
provided US$560,000 of aid to China.
In
another development, overseas Chinese living in Belgium have
donated nearly 40 thousand euros to the fight against SARS in
China.
