SARS: India back on list

NEW DELHI MAY 8. India is back on the WHO list of countries reporting ``probable cases'' of SARS after being declared SARS-free by the world body on May 1. The WHO's website on SARS mentions one SARS-probable case in India. The WHO had modified the definition of probable cases on May 1.

All the cases reported in the country earlier, despite testing positive for the new corona virus in samples, did not fall into the WHO's previous case definition of ``SARS-probable''. ``We have taken into account one case in Kolkata, who is a SARS-probable according to the WHO's revised definition,'' N. Kumara Rai, WHO's representative here, said.
