Malaysia remains SARS-free

KUALA LUMPUR, Thurs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Malaysia, which remains SARS-free, will closely monitor the situation abroad as China reported a new suspected case today.
Health Ministry's Disease Control Division deputy director Dr Cheng Hoei Hom said Malaysia need not worry as all precautions have been put in place to ensure the disease did not reappear here.

She said the World Health Organisation had not issued any warnings yet as they were still confirming with China on the suspected case.

It was reported today that health officials in the southern province of Guangdong said a 20-year-old waitress was under quarantine at a hospital with SARS-like symptoms.
