Ministry of Health clarifies

In reference to the Borneo Bulletin article dated May 1, 2003, on Page 3 with the headline '14 SARS suspects under health watch', it should read as '14 people still under active surveillance for SARS'. Dr Pg Haji Hishamuddin, a Medical Officer from the Disease Control Unit said, "Surveillance cases means cases have either fever or respiratory symptoms and travel to an affected area but do not fulfill the full criteria for suspect or probable cases for SARS as defined by the World Health Organisation".
