Hong Kong Removed from WHO SARS-affected Area List
World Health Organization announced Monday it has removed Hong Kong from its SARS-affected area list, Hong Kong government officials confirmed with Xinhua.

WHO's decision resulted from Hong Kong's 20th consecutive day on Sunday of no new SARS infection, which means Hong Kong has met all of the UN health agency's requirements.

The 20-day period represents twice the maximum SARS incubation period that the WHO regards as a reliable indication that the chain of transmission has been broken.
