WHO says major SARS outbreak in China can probably be prevented.
(From Agence France Presse)
The World Health Organization (WHO) said it is likely that a major SARS outbreak in China could be prevented because the country is well prepared to tackle a re-emergence of the disease.
The announcement came as virus samples from a suspected case in the country's south were sent overseas for further testing.
The WHO based its prediction on China's radically raised level of alert and the much more abundant resources spent on curbing the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) virus, compared with last year when the disease first emerged.
"As long as the system remains strong and we remain vigilant, we should be able to prevent a major outbreak," said Julie Hall, SARS team leader of the WHO China office.
Even if a few cases, or clusters of cases, of SARS were to occur it would be possible to prevent massive spread, she said.
"If the cases are isolated early, it is a disease that is controllable, you can actually break the chain of transmission," she said.
