Three more people died of atypical pneumonia in Toronto, Canada, raising the city's total death toll from SARS to 19.
According to a report by the BBC on the 25th, SARS cases first appeared in Guangdong, China, and spread in China and East Asia. Toronto is the city with the most deaths from atypical pneumonia outside East Asia so far.
Canadian Prime Minister Chrétien criticized the World Health Organization because the organization advised people to avoid traveling to Toronto as much as possible to prevent infection.
There are about 250 suspected SARS cases in Toronto. Health officials said some of them are seriously ill.
However, they emphasized that SARS has not spread. Prime Minister Chrétien said that the epidemic in Canada is beginning to turn for the better, and the World Health Organization's advice to people not to travel to Toronto is a wrong approach.
He said Toronto is safe, and he also announced that the cabinet meeting on Tuesday will be moved from Ottawa to Toronto, and he will stay in Toronto overnight.
Chrétien took a week off, but the World Health Organization's advice not to travel to Toronto was not stopped, and he was criticized by some people. Now he is trying his best to convince domestic people and the international community that the epidemic in Toronto has been brought under control.
Canadian officials said the World Health Organization will review the situation in Toronto on Tuesday. But even if the World Health Organization lifts the warning, it will still take quite a while for businessmen and tourists to regain confidence and come to Toronto again.
