    China's health authorities have directed medical staff across the country to report and release accurate and timely data on SARS.

    The Ministry of Health made the call as it altered the way it defines patients with SARS.

    The ministry has indicated that many cases labeled as suspects, not included in previous disease reports, will be reported as confirmed SARS cases. The move came a day after Premier Wen Jiabao warned that anyone who covers up SARS cases would be harshly punished.
