T.O. off SARS list
From Today's Toronto Star, just in time for the party. I hope people use their rational minds and don't stay away for silly overblown reasons.
We're clear! T.O. off SARS list Health body congratulates Canada for fight against deadly virus GENEVA (AP-CP) - The World Health Organization removed Toronto from its list of SARS-affected areas today, saying Canada's largest city had contained the virus. "This is a great achievement for public health in what we hope is the final phase of the global emergency," David Heymann, the WHO's executive director for communicable diseases, said in a release. "Toronto faced an especially challenging outbreak. As we have learned, SARS is a difficult disease that produces many surprises and setbacks." Prime Minister Jean Chrétien hailed the news, saying visitors should not have any fears about returning to Toronto, whose economy has been hard hit by the crisis. "And now it's over so I hope that the people will return in great numbers to the great city of Toronto," Chrétien said from Prague, where he was participating in Vancouver's bid presentation for the 2010 Winter Olympics. |
