A group of nursing school students attends a rally in Taipei on July 6,
2003 to celebrate the World Health Organization's (WHO) decision to
remove the island from its SARS infected list. The WHO said on Saturday
the global outbreak of the respiratory illness SARS had been contained
as it removed Taiwan from its list of areas with recent local
transmission of the disease. However, the organisation warned that
while the containment was a milestone, countries must remain vigilant
against the re-emergence of the illness that has killed more than 800
people worldwide, mostly in China and Hong Kong, and for which there is
no simple treatment. REUTERS/Richard Chung
