A sixth case of SARS has been confirmed by the Chinese Ministry of Health. The sixth person is a researcher in the Chinese Centre for Disease Control. He had been under observation since April 22. There are still three other suspects cases.
The WHO says they are not sure yet where the source of this current outbreak is. Data gathered so far seems to pointing to a SARS laboratory.
More than 90 million people will travel during China's Golden week. It is a seven day holiday which generates a great deal of tourism revenue. Authorities are concerned that with so many people travelling there is a greater risk of the virus spreading around the country.
Well over 1,000 people have been isolated so far during this current outbreak.
