Campus dorm buildings of two universities in Beijing were expected to be relieved from a quarantine order which was imposed about two weeks ago, a senior official said Tuesday.

The dorm buildings were the No. 29 dorm building of the Central University of Finance and Economics and one of dorm houses of the Northern China Jiaotong University, Zhou Liangluo, head of the people's government of Haidian District of Beijing, said at a regular press conference on SARS.

The both universities are located in Haidian District in northwestern Beijing and very close to each other.
