Kina - WHO reiseråd

[Gjest Vi venter]

Klippet fra China Daily i dag:

The WHO has not considered lifting the travel advisory against Beijing as it is too early. The capital is still reporting new SARS cases or suspected cases most days and many patients remain in hospital, the representative added.

The WHO has removed its travel advisory on Northeast China's Jilin Province, South China's Guangdong Province and Hong Kong.

WHO is closely looking at the remaining four provinces and regions that are subject to their travel bans -- North China's Shanxi Province, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Tianjin, and Hebei Province -- in the coming weeks.

"What we want to see is the level of risk being controlled, then we can lift them, maybe in weeks," Bekedam said (WHO's representative in China).

He also gave four criteria for lifting the travel advisory: number of cases currently treated in hospitals to be fewer than 60, number of new patients to be fewer than five for a number of days, no local transmission and no exporting of cases to other regions.
