Chinese leaders and experts have visited hospitals to collect first-hand information, learn about the disease and its treatment and evaluate experiences, and have also taken decisive, yet effective, measures to prevent and contain the epidemic, he said.

He said China has made relevant laws and regulations, established an emergency response mechanism and set up an epidemic monitoring and reporting system to inform the public of the situation.

China has also adopted strict quarantine measures at international border entry points to prevent SARS patients from entering or exiting the country, he said, noting that exchanges and cooperation with the World Health Organization and other countries have been tightened.
