SAR爆發殃及在比利時留學的中國學生

比利時消息，我是一名在比利時留學的中國學生，從本月22起比利時部分大學和語言學校禁止所有中國學生入內，僅僅因為我們可能患有ars。此項決定業已通過比利時公共健康部的批准，可是我們大部分人已經在這邊兩年多了，而且由於種種原因從未回國探親，可以說我們是安全的。但是比利時政府還是做出了這樣令人感到不公平的決定！另外，什麼時候可以復課還是未知數。

以下是來自比利時某大學的關於禁止中國學生入內的正式文件

Dear Student

As you will probably have heard, the SARS virus has become a serious threat to the global public health, since it is spreading rapidly throughout the world. Especially East-Asia, including China, is a high-risk area.

Since some of our students recently went to China or got in touch with people coming from that region, we are obliged to suspend all classes and seminars for Chinese students till 4 May, starting from today.

Moreover, to avoid taking any risks, access to the entire school building will be denied to Chinese students until the abovementioned date.

This decision has been taken after consultation with the Belgian Ministry of Public Health.

Depending on further developments concerning SARS, this period can be prolonged or additional measures can be taken.

Any changes in the timetables and examination schedules will be communicated by post or by e-mail.

We dare hope that you will understand the absolute necessity of the measures taken.

Kind regards
Apr. 22 . 2003
