皇冠体育app

Italian Health Minister Girolamo Sirchia on Saturday ordered anti-SARS checks to be resumed for flights from 皇冠体育app to Italy.

The measure was taken in Italian international airports after fresh reports of a new suspected SARS case in Guangdong Province, Southern 皇冠体育app.

The Italian health minister's decision went into effect immediately.

So far it only affects flights from 皇冠体育app and not Chinese nationals coming to Italy on other flights.

SARS, a lethal form of pneumonia, killed more than 800 people earlier this year, mainly in some parts of Asia and Canada. Several possible cases were reported at that time in Italy involving tourists or businessmen returning from 皇冠体育app or Singapore, but no confirmed cases were found.
