On June 24, 2003 (the 25th day of the fifth lunar month), our country's SARS prevention and control work was "double lifted". On the afternoon of June 24, 2003, at a press conference jointly held by the Ministry of Health of our country and the World Health Organization in Beijing, WHO officials solemnly announced: From now on, the travel warning for Beijing will be lifted, and Beijing will be removed from the list of SARS epidemic areas with "recent local transmission". Gao Qiang, executive vice minister of the Ministry of Health, said at a press conference that the course of fighting SARS has summed up a valuable experience for us, that is, under the leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Hu Jintao as general secretary, as long as we are united, overcome the difficulties together, earnestly implement the major decisions and arrangements of the central government, and widely strengthen cooperation with the international community, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome. Dr. Mao Omi, director of the Western Pacific Region of the World Health Organization, said that the World Health Organization lifted the travel warning for Beijing. This decision was made based on a comprehensive analysis of the overall situation in Beijing, and the main factors were the number of reported cases, the quality of monitoring work, whether the control measures were effective, and whether to export cases to the outside world. Today's "double lifting" of Beijing is a milestone not only for China but also for the world's SARS prevention and control. So far, the World Health Organization has no travel warnings for any area. Gao Qiang said that the World Health Organization's announcement of "double lifting" of Beijing's SARS prevention and control has been fully recognized by the international community, marking that the Chinese mainland has all been lifted from travel restrictions and removed from the list of epidemic areas. China will resume normal social and economic life order. This marks a major victory in China's SARS prevention and control work.
