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 who intend to visit Taiwan 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.
Taiwan is located in an active seismic zone. Several strong
earthquakes measuring between 5.9 and 6.8 on the Richter scale
have occurred since March 2002. Local authorities expect further
earthquakes and aftershocks in the coming months. Canadians
should know the address and telephone number of the Canadian
Trade Office in Taipei in the event of an emergency. |
