香港到处是戴口罩的人 广东首次承认已有31人死于神秘肺炎
在亚洲肆虐引起恐慌的神秘肺炎，经中国当局证实到2月底，在广东省已经有31人死于这种疾病。
另外，据报新加坡有一名病人死于这种神秘肺炎，是首名在新加坡死于这种疾病的病人。
目前，全球已经有49人死于这种急性呼吸道综合症，其中10人死于香港，受到感染者接近1,300人。
一些评论认为，近期爆发的神秘肺炎的病源在中国的广东省。
中国广东省
中国广州市政府发言人对美联社表示，到2月底，广东省有31人死于神秘肺炎，其中24人在广州，七人在广东省其他地方。
广东省感染肺炎的人数为792人，其中680人在广州，其余在广东另外六个城市。
世界卫生组织的官员说，他们派往中国的人员，星期三与广东省官员开会了解肺炎爆发的情况。
在此之前，中国当局一直表示，在去年底今年初爆发的非典型肺炎已经得到控制，五人死亡，305人染病。
新加坡
新加坡卫生当局表示，有首名病人因为这种严重肺炎死亡，另外有740人需要隔离。
目前当局强制要求740人留在家里，因为这些人曾经和染上肺炎的人有近距离的接触，为了避免病毒扩散，因此这样做。
如果他们违反规定，首次会被罚款5,000元新币，再犯的罚款为10,000元新币。
另外，在加拿大也发现新的怀疑病例，使怀疑染上肺炎的人增加至49人，其中绝大部分人在安大略省。
早些时候，已经有三名加拿大人死于这种疾病。
香港
香港的肺炎情况仍然未受到控制，出现肺炎病征需要住院的人增加至316人。
由于香港染病的人数每日俱增，特区政府将向立法会财务委员会初步要求拨款二亿港元，用以加强预防和治疗工作。
另外，当局正在大力推广公共卫生教育，促请居民要注意健康和个人卫生，更向不同行业举办讲座，避免肺炎在社区蔓延。
由于肺炎影响，连日来香港多家学校已经停课，政府并考虑让学生提前放复活节假期。

SARS virus identified, scientists say
OTTAWA - Scientists at the University of Hong Kong say they have identified the virus behind the mystery illness known as severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
Ottawa man quarantined at Queensway-Carleton Hospital
They say this discovery will allow them to diagnose and treat the illness much faster than before.
In the meantime, Ottawa is dealing with its first suspected case of SARS. A 56-year-old man is under observation and quarantine at the Queensway-Carleton Hospital; and the medical officer of health says he expects more cases will follow.
Dr. Robert Cushman says the spread of SARS in Toronto made it inevitable that possible cases could appear here.
FROM MARCH 26, 2003: SARS prompts quarantines, school closures
INDEPTH: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
Notice of the first such case in Ottawa came Tuesday, from staff at Queensway-Carleton.
The patient has been isolated. Family members and some hospital staff are also being closely watched, to see if they develop similar symptoms.
Dr. Cushman says the common flu-like symptoms of SARS mean more investigations likely will have to be launched.
"We will identify cases who meet these very loose criteria, and obviously err on the side of caution. So I suspect we will have more."
Because there is no test for SARS, doctors can only identify it by ruling out other possible diseases.
It could take up to 10 days to determine if the patient at Queensway-Carleton has this potentially deadly illness.
Dr. Cushman says the health department may designate a building in Ottawa where it can quarantine possible SARS cases.
Hong Kong researchers identify virus
In Hong Kong, researchers identified SARS, or severe acute respiratory virus, as a new "corona" virus which is similar to a common cold virus.
The breakthrough is believed to make way for a SARS test, that could be available in Hong Kong hospitals by Friday.
One of the tests will detect the virus's antibodies, the body's immune response to the virus's presence, and one will test for the genes contained in the virus.
The discovery also resulted in a change in the name of the disease, from SARS to coronal viral pneumonia.
The government of Hong Kong is ordering the quarantine of more than 1,000 people to prevent the spread of the disease. As well, all primary and secondary schools will be closed until April 6.
Ten people in Hong Kong have died from the atypical pneumonia.
The death toll from the disease rose sharply, Wednesday, with updated reports from China.
There are now 1,334 cases of SARS, leading to 49 deaths, three of those in Canada.
SARS first arrived in Toronto a month ago, when a woman returned from a trip to Hong Kong. She died from the ailment.
Toronto's medical officer of health said the city has the largest outbreak of SARS outside of Asia, and thousands of people are expected to go under a 10-day house quarantine.
