China reports no new SARS cases or deaths
Beijing-AP -- For the first time since April, China is reporting no new SARS cases or deaths. Hong Kong says it has only one new case, and Taiwan is reporting two as the spread of the disease appears to be slowing across Asia.
But despite the slowdown, the World Health Organization says it is skeptical of reports of a sharp drop in cases in Beijing.
A W-H-O spokesman says China has a "credibility" problem on SARS, and that the W-H-O does not know enough about how China is counting its numbers.
The spokesman says the recent sharp drop in the capital is out of line with a much slower drop in a southern province.
Severe acute respiratory syndrome has killed 773 people and infected at least 83-hundred.
