Taiwan launches national temperature check campaign as SARS on the wane.
(From Agence France Presse)
Taiwan launched an unprecedented 10-day nationwide temperature-check campaign to chase down the SARS epidemic despite growing optimism on the back of the decline in the number of infections.
An official survey showed nearly 80 percent of Taiwanese families have thermometers, and nearly as many said they would like to cooperate, according to the cabinet's SARS Contingency Committee.
It said people who did not have a thermometer could have their temperatures checked at some 6,000 designated community pharmacies islandwide.
"We stand a good chance of beating SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) if all of us work together," Lee Ming-lian, the head of the committee, said on a television programme aired nationally.
The "fever hotline" set up to offer health consultations to people who found their temperatures above normal was also jammed with calls.
The temperature drive initiated by the Taiwan-born Nobel prize winner Lee Yuan-tseh is not compulsory but health authorities say they are confident most people will partipate.
