China steps up anti-SARS measures
Health departments throughout China stepped up anti-SARS measures today, a day after authorities announced the nation’s first suspected case of the disease since July.
The capital Beijing, which was hard-hit by severe acute respiratory syndrome earlier this year, ordered airport and railway stations to tighten health checks on travellers and to send anyone with a high fever to a government-designated hospital, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
