SARS latest – Cathay crew member infected
Hong Kong: Health officials try to track down everyone on Singapore flight
The SARS crisis has worsened over the Easter break, with Cathay Pacific admitting that a member of its flight crew has been infected and British Airways announcing that it is to screen travellers coming from infected areas.
Hong Kong health officials are trying to track down everyone who was on flight CX714 from Singapore to Hong Kong on 15 April, while BA is routing all its flights to Hong Kong via Bangkok so that flight crews can spend overnight stays in Thailand rather than in the former British colony.
Meanwhile, newspapers are reporting that thousands of British travellers have cancelled or postponed trips to Hong Kong and China because of the outbreak. Many airlines have cut back their services to the worst-affected parts of the Far East.
Despite increasingly-stringent checks at airports, air travel appears increasingly likely to be responsible for the spread of the disease – of the six known cases in the UK, all had visited the Far East in the previous month.
