Chinese Vice Minister of Health Gao Qiang said that China's life order has returned to normal and it is now safe to travel to any place in the country.
Gao told a joint press briefing Tuesday that the decision made by the World Health Organization (WHO) to lift the travel advisory on Beijing and remove Beijing off its list of locally transmitting area of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) marks that China's efforts in fighting against SARS have been recognized by the international community and the WHO, and marks the thorough lifting of travel advisory to any province or municipality on the Chinese mainland.
He stressed that the WHO decision indicates that China's efforts in fighting SARS have achieved a significant victory, and the victory is not easy.
