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.
