                    [Title] => Tutors, studes coming from abroad asked to observe quarantine
                    [Summary] => ANGELES CITY — The government’s chief epidemiologist has advised teachers and students, who might still be vacationing in countries affected by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), to come back no less than 14 days before the school opening so they can observe the prescribed two-week quarantine period. 


Dr. Consortia Quizon, chief of the National Epidemiology Center, quoted the departments of health and education as saying that after classes start, quarantine for these teachers and students would be mandatory, meaning they would be missing their classes.

Thus said this town’s mayor, Marino Morales, to allay his constituents’ unfounded fears that the ashes of a Filipina who died of SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) in Hong Kong, which one of her children is bringing home, pose a health risk.

"The ashes are certainly safe, and the one who would bring the remains home would undergo the usual 14-day quarantine period," Morales said.

"Once incinerated, the ashes of a SARS victim are safe," said Dr. Eric Tayag, assistant director of the Department of Health (DOH) in Central Luzon.

Tayag, who used to be the chief epidemiologist of the San Lazaro Hospital, made the clarification to allay fears regarding the plan of relatives of the second Filipino woman who died of SARS in Hong Kong, to bring home her ashes.
