World soon to be SARS-free but virus could return, warns WHO
David Heymann, director of the WHO's communicable diseases division, said he expected Taiwan and Toronto -- the only two areas still regarded as zones where the disease could be transmitted -- to be given a clean bill of health by the first week of July.
āIt appears we've had the peak of epidemic in all countries,ā Mr Heymann said in an interview ahead of a meeting of Asia Pacific health ministers in Bangkok today.
