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.
