The Chinese authorities have taken effective measures to monitor and prevent the spread of SARS, Foreign Ministry spokesman Kong Quan said Tuesday.

Kong said the confirmation of the first diagnosed case of SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) on Monday did not cause public panic, because effective prevention measures had been taken.

Kong said the public should be more aware of the possibility of SARS, but need not panic.

The World Health Organization and the government were satisfied with the SARS monitoring system, Kong said, adding that all foreign visitors and Chinese residents were safe.
