Sunday, April 25, 2004China is reporting four new suspected SARS cases, bringing the number of infections in the past several days to six suspected and two confirmed cases. All the cases have been traced back to China's top SARS research laboratory, the Institute of Virology in Beijing. The government ordered the lab shut down on Saturday while the spread of the disease is investigated. The Health Ministry says the outbreak began when a medical student was infected while working at the facility. The student returned to her home province of Anhui in eastern China, where she was care for by her 53-year-old mother. Chinese officials say the mother died earlier this week, and that they are conducting tests to confirm whether she died of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. And Taiwan and Hong Kong are taking no chances. posted by Sydney on 4/25/2004 11:53:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
