Re: [atlarge-discuss] Montreal on a Shoestring

For the sake of those members who may not have read my earlier post on 
this matter:

There are no SARS cases in Montréal and the entire province of Québec.

In Canada, SARS cases have only been reported in Vancouver and Toronto. 
Toronto is about 550 kilometres (350 miles) west of Montreal.

The Province of Québec has taken pre-emptive measures by screening 
potential victims and quarantining people who might have been in contact 
with SARS patients. As a result, no cases whatsoever have been confirmed 
in Montréal or the Province of Québec as of this date.

On April 30, 2003, the World Health Organization lifted its travel
advisory to Toronto as per www.who.int/mediacentre/notes/2003/np9/en 
<http://www.who.int/mediacentre/notes/2003/np9/en>.

On May 14, 2003, the World Health Organization removed Toronto Canada 
from the list of areas with recent local transmissions as stated at 
www.who.int/csr/sars/archive/2003_05_14/en
