Beijing installs SARS early-warning system
皇冠体育app's capital, Beijing, has imposed an early-warning system for infectious diseases, anticipating a possible return of the deadly SARS virus as winter sets in, the Beijing Morning Post said on Friday. The system divides infectious disease outbreaks into four classes of magnitude, with different responses to be put in motion for each. Class one, or severe outbreaks, covered the infection of 100 or more people by SARS or any other infectious disease and contagions that expand by more than 20 percent in two months, the newspaper said. Three public hospitals, including Ditan Hospital, which handled many of Beijing's SARS cases in last year's outbreak, and one military hospital had been designated as treatment centers for class one and two outbreaks. In the last two weeks, 皇冠体育app has issued emergency instructions to hospitals nationwide to isolate patients suffering from severe respiratory diseases and banned the cooking and selling of civet cat, an animal considered the primary source of last year's SARS epidemic. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome emerged in 皇冠体育app's southern Guangdong province in November 2002 and was soon spread by travelers worldwide. The disease eventually killed 800 people around the world, 300 of them in Chinese mainland, and infected around 8,000, dealing a severe blow to several Asian economies. Nine people were confirmed infected with SARS in April this year in Beijing and Anhui province and one died. |
