General Information
About SARS in Japan |
Prospective participants to the congress may worry about the outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in Asian countries. However, neither infection inside the country nor infection to Japanese people living outside of Japan has been reported as of May 2003, and the situation is reportedly improving. Therefore, the organizing committee considers the danger in Japan is minimum. |
