| SARS: don't travel to Taiwan The World Health Organization has advised businesses not to allow staff to travel to Taiwan because of the SARS disease risk. In a warning issued yesterday, the WHO stated: "As a result of ongoing assessments as to the nature of outbreaks of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), WHO is now recommending, as a measure of precaution, that people planning to travel to Taiwan province, China, consider postponing all but essential travel. This is an extension of the advice issued on 8th May recommending the postponing of non-essential travel to Taipei, and is based on information received by the WHO detailing the spread of SARS beyond that city. This temporary travel advice will be reassessed regularly." Read the full text of the warning.
