Canada takes temperature infrared Original Source Link: (May no longer be active)    http://www.drudgereport.com/flash3.htm http://www.drudgereport.com/flash3.htm Canada to take temperatures at airport in new anti-SARS measure Mon Apr 28 2003 15:58:36 ET Toronto (dpa) - Aiming to tighten its borders against the lethal SARS virus, Canada said Monday it would screen the body temperature of arriving passengers at international airports with an infrared instrument. Canada's Health minister Anne McLellan said the new measure would help with early diagnosis of the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) that has killed some 321 people and infected 5,050 worldwide, mostly in Asia, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Canada hopes WHO will lift its travel advisory against Canada's commercial capital Toronto on Tuesday, when it meets in Geneva to consider the matter, McLellan said. McLellan said the number of Canada's suspected SARS cases had fallen in the last days, and the illness was under control. But on Sunday, Canada reported yet another death, bringing the country's total to 21.
