The World Health Organization (WHO) has dropped its advisory to defer nonessential travel to Hong Kong and Guangdong province in China, reporting that the rate of infection has decreased steadily and both areas have contained the disease. WHO retained similar advisories for other areas of China, including Beijing, Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and Tianjin. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U. S. State Department, however, have not lifted their recommendations to avoid nonessential travel to Hong Kong and Guandong.

The World Health Organization (WHO) continues to recommend deferring nonessential travel to Hong Kong, Beijing, and Guangdong and Shanxi provinces of China because of SARS, and also recently added Inner Mongolia and Tianjin provinces. Taipei in Taiwan is the only other place where WHO recommends deferring nonessential travel. Authorities in Taiwan have ordered all train passengers to wear masks, and Italy has taken a harder line than the rest of the EU by deciding to implement compulsory screening of all passengers arriving from SARS-effected areas. The rest of the EU has agreed to have such passengers fill in questionnaires about their recent travels.
