"There is a chance that the illness will arrive in the country
sooner or later because we cannot isolate ourselves from the rest of
the world, however, the measures that we have taken so far will
ensure that the illness does not spread uncontrollably and that
adequate medical attention be given to those affected as soon as
possible," it was said at a session of the SARS committee.
Not one case of SARS has been recorded in Croatia as yet while
elsewhere in the world there have been 3,947 cases of which 1,935
persons were cured and 229 died from the illness.
