China reported no new suspected or diagnosed SARS cases for the 24 hours from 10 a.m. Sunday to 10 a.m. Monday, the Chinese Health Ministry said in Beijing Monday.

The ministry said in its daily SARS surveillance report that the diagnosed SARS patient in Beijing, surnamed Li, is in relatively stable condition and has had normal temperature for 10 straight days.

The five suspected SARS patients in Beijing are now receiving medical treatment in Beijing Ditan Hospital, the ministry said.

The SARS patient in Anhui Province, surnamed Song, is also in stable condition and none of the people with close contact with her have shown abnormal symptoms so far.

In addition, the ministry said an emergent investigation has been carried out in the hospitals at and above the county level on the death and pneumonia cases with no clear causes, which occurred since March 20.

"So far, no cases were found suspicious and related with SARS," the ministry said.

Meanwhile, the Chinese Center for Disease Prevention and Control (CDC), whose Institute of Virology has been sealed and isolated since April 23 due to possible laboratory infection, reported that no staff under quarantine has shown strange symptoms so far.

The Beijing-based CDC said it has listed all the people who had been to the Virology Institute since March 20 and investigation and tracing to them are still being carried out.
