Canada's Health minister Anne McLellan said the new measure would help with early diagnosis of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) that has killed some 321 people and infected 5,050 worldwide, mostly in Asia, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Canada hopes WHO will lift its travel advisory against Canada's commercial capital Toronto on Tuesday, when it meets in Geneva to consider the matter, McLellan said. McLellan said the number of Canada's suspected SARS cases had fallen in the last days, and the illness was under control. But on Sunday, Canada reported yet another death, bringing the country's total to 21. |
