The epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome （SARS） in Beijing was in a "platform" period, said a senior health official in Beijing Friday.
Liang Wannian, deputy director of Beijing Health Bureau, explained that Beijing's SARS epidemic "was in a stable period with the upward trend contained."
He admitted that it is still hard to predict when SARS comes to low epidemic.
He said that as time goes by, a group－immunity is expected to develop among people, thus forming an immunity－shield for the vulnerable.
Liang, also an epidemiologist, said it is still an urgent job to cut off infection source and routes and strengthen protection of the vulnerable people.
