    Drugstores in Beijing have returned to normal and are providing adequate supplies of materials to prevent severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), following a spate of panic buying resulting from the outbreak, China Daily reports Monday.

    Two weeks ago, drugstores throughout the capital were crowded with people buying face masks, disinfectant and Chinese medicine that is thought to be effective in preventing SARS.

    But Beijing residents are now finding it much easier to cope with the outbreak, with the number of new cases dropping on a daily basis and as a result of the effective preventative measures, which have been adopted, according to the paper.
