GENEVA: The UN's World Health Organisation said yesterday that outbreaks of a deadly respiratory virus were being contained in Vietnam, Singapore, and Canada, with the main concern now centering on Hong Kong and China's Guangdong province.
“Vietnam has contained the outbreak, Singapore is rapidly containing the outbreak, Toronto is rapidly containing it, so we don't anticipate that there will be spread from these places,” David Heymann, head of the WHO's communicable diseases unit, said.
