TORONTO, as predicted in last week”s ABTN, has been cleared by the World Health Organization in respect of SARS with the travel warning lifted. The announcement followed heavy lobbying by Canada which sent a delegation to the WHO headquarters in Geneva to press its case. WHO said that the magnitude of probable SARS cases in Toronto has decreased, 20 days have passed since the last cases of community transmission occurred and there has been no new confirmed exportation of cases. The situation in China is still giving rise to serious concerns and travel advisories remain in effect for Beijing, Guangdong and Shanxi provinces. Hong Kong also remains on the warning list. http://www.who.int
