Sars claims another life in China
China today reported a new Sars death and warned officials not to hide cases of the disease, while leaders in hard-hit Hong Kong geared up for a massive clean-up targeting the territory’s back alleys where germs might fester.
Researchers in the US said new tests to diagnose severe acute respiratory syndrome could be shipped as soon as next week. Other tests are being fine-tuned around the world after this week’s confirmation of the virus, a key step in finding drugs to treat the disease.
