Question
What is Australia's travel advice?
Answer
While the risk of contracting SARS is very low and, to date, almost all known cases have been contracted through close personal contact with a seriously ill person, it is recommended that Australians consider deferring, until further notice, non-essential travel to China, Hong Kong SAR, Singapore, Viet Nam and Toronto in Canada. However, if people decide to visit these regions, precautions should be taken. Some simple preventative measures include carrying alcohol-based handwipes, using tissues or handkerchiefs to cover one's nose or mouth if next to a visibly unwell person and to ensure frequent handwashing. More detailed travel advice is available on the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade website at www.dfat.gov.au
