U.S. epidemiologist to leave Taipei after showing SARS signs
2003/5/23
Amber Wang, TAIPEI, Taiwan, The China Post
An American epidemiologist who has been in Taiwan since May 15 to assist the local authorities in curbing the SARS outbreak will return to the United States today via a chartered plane after he showed SARS-like signs. The doctor, identified by the Central News Agency as Chesley Richards, developed respiratory symptoms yesterday.
The American Institute in Taiwan (AIT), Washington's de facto embassy in Taipei, did not identify Richards. In a statement, the AIT said: "A member of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (USCDC) ... has been admitted to a hospital for evaluation."
Richards, accompanied by another member of the USCDC team, will leave Taipei this morning aboard a plane chartered by American authorities. “The Taiwan Department of Health, the Taiwan Center for Disease Control, and the Taipei City Bureau of Health all have been notified," the statement went on. All Taiwan health authority recommendations and guidelines are being followed, the statement added. The AIT said the rest of the USCDC team members will remain in Taiwan to provide their assistance in the fight against SARS.
The epidemiologist has suffered a fever of over 38 degrees Celsius and muscle pain since May 19, according to the CDC in Taipei
