The recommendation to consider postponing all but essential travel to Hong Kong and Guangdong was issued by WHO on 2 April in order to minimize the international spread of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
"We are changing the travel advice for Hong Kong and Guangdong effective Friday, 23 May," said Dr Gro Harlem Brundtland, Director-General of the WHO. "Guangdong was the first place in the world to have cases of SARS but I am pleased to note that due to the efforts of the local and national health authorities, with support from WHO, the outbreaks in Guangdong and in Hong Kong are being contained."
