Chinanews, Beijing, Jan. 24 (By Shen Jia) - The Beijing Olympic Games has
entered the "Countdown Period" this year. As many countries and regions
will be participating in the grand event, Beijing is confronted with
increasing risks of epidemics and infectious diseases. Wei Chuanzhong,
chief of Beijing's Quarantine Bureau, revealed that Beijing was
implementing several well-designed measures to prevent possible
introduction of overseas epidemics and infectious organisms during the
Olympic Games.
Wei Chuanzhong said that Beijing was actively researching and developing
fast detection techniques suitable for inspection and quarantine demands
at entry ports where large volume of traffic and cargo are expected for
the 2008 Olympic Games.
In addition, the construction of Beijing's Companion Animal Quarantine
and Healthcare Center is under preparation. This center is geared for
research on companion animal quarantine regulations, technology and
diagnosis standards. It would also provide technical services such as
health exams, anti-epidemic care, diagnosis and treatment for companion
animals crossing the Chinese border and companion animals raised by
foreign diplomats, international organizations, business people and
overseas students.
Wei Chuanzhong also revealed that his Bureau was planning to build a
horse disease lab. The project will start as soon as the funding request
is approved. China will also invest 10 million yuan in building a dog
quarantine base. Moreover, authorities are selecting a site for the
construction of an isolation area.
