Hong Kong orders schools closed due to SARS. Hong Kong Chief Executive invokes a quarantine law that hasn't been used in decades. >>Tung said those exposed to the virus must not go to work or school but must go to a clinic every day to be checked and if found to be ill, to be isolated. Eleven people have died in Hong Kong from severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and 370 are infected. The government said the quarantine will affect more than 1,600 people. "They must not go to work or to school for 10 days or they will be punished," Tung said as anxiety grew in the city of seven million and tourists canceled holidays.<< This is getting serious, folks.
