WHO: SARS Under Control

Brundtland’s statement has been issued after taking Taiwan off the list of SARS countries. The decision to exclude Taiwan from the list has been reached upon not observing any new occurrences of the epidemic on the island in a 20-day period, twice the incubation time for the epidemic.

However, WHO officials emphasize that the awareness against the SARS threat should continue.

Since last November, 800 people died of SARS, which has a tough recovery phase.
