                Canada and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International
                Trade (DFAIT) recommend that Canadians defer travel, until
                further notice, to the City of Hanoi, Vietnam; the People's
                Republic of China including the Hong Kong Special Administrative
                Region; Singapore; and Taiwan. This advice is due to the
                mounting concern about transmission of the severe acute
                respiratory syndrome (SARS) agent in non-hospital and community
                settings in these areas. 
 Health Canada and DFAIT also recommend alternate routing be
                considered, when possible, if a traveller is transiting through
                the People's Republic of China including Hong Kong Special
                Administrative Region; City of Hanoi, Vietnam; Singapore; or
                Taiwan.
 
 Health Canada is aware that health authorities in these areas
                are making concerted efforts to contain the spread of SARS in
                their populations. Given the uncertainties of the current
                situation, Health Canada and DFAIT believe it is prudent to
                await the outcome of national and international control measures
                before undertaking travel to these destinations.
 
 Canadians arriving from areas affected by severe acute
                respiratory syndrome (SARS) - such as Canada (Toronto), Vietnam
                (Hanoi), Singapore, Taiwan, and the People's Republic of China
                including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region - may be
                subject to medical screening. Persons with symptoms of SARS must
                undergo further medical examinations and, if necessary, go into
                quarantine.
 
 For specific information on entry procedures, you should check
                with the Embassy of the People's Republic of China.
 
 Canadians who intend to visit Macau should be aware that some
                insurance companies will not pay claims that arise when
                travellers disregard the government's travel advice. It is the
                traveller's responsibility to obtain from the insurer and
                understand the terms of supplementary health insurance policies.
