WHO cancels Taiwan SARS travel warning

THE World Health Organisation yesterday cancelled its warning against travel to Taiwan, more than a month after it put the Taiwanese capital on its list of places with a risk of spreading SARS

The WHO also said SARS was diminishing as a global threat and praised China for showing greater transparency and a “strong political commitment” in combatting the disease.

But delegates at an international SARS conference in Kuala Lumpur warned countries to remain vigilant of new infectious diseases.
