SARS Screening Devices Installed at Beijing Airport

Three devices capable of detecting suspected SARS sufferers have been installed at Beijing's Capital Airport in a bid to curb the spread of the disease, quarantine officials said Tuesday.

Sources with Beijing Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau said the devices, the first of their kind installed at an international airport in China, were sensitive to people with bodytemperatures higher than normal.

The devices will alert quarantine officers by sounding a siren automatically when they detect a passenger with a fever, a symptomof severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
