China sharply raises death toll from SARS
Elisabeth Rosenthal The New York Times
Thursday, March 27, 2003
It reports 31 deaths by end of February
GUANGZHOU, China Chinese health officials Wednesday dramatically increased
their estimates of the number of cases and deaths in China caused by a new
mystery pneumonia that international health officials believe originated
here late last year.
Officials in Guangdong Province, the center of China's epidemic, reporting
an estimated 792 cases and 31 deaths as of the end of February, a rise from
the 305 case and 5 deaths they had previously reported.
The new tallies means that China now probably has had more cases and deaths
than any other country, although the latest estimates have not been
officially sanctioned by China's Ministry of Health or reviewed by
international health officials. About 500 cases have been reported elsewhere
in the world.
