Health
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. |
