KUALA LUMPUR: The Health Ministry will consider conducting surprise checks at the Causeway as it is concerned that several suspect SARS patients are being allowed to return home after falling ill in Singapore. 

Health deputy director-general Datuk Dr Ismail Merican said out of the five new suspect cases and one pending case reported as of Tuesday, two patients had been allowed back into the country although records show they had developed SARS symptoms in the republic.
