Chinese policemen wear masks as they march past Tiananmen Gate in Bejing April 28, 2003. The usually bustling square, the world's largest, was virtually empty as tourists and locals stayed away from public spaces for fear of catching the mustery lung disease. State media on Monday said 7,672 of the capital's 14 million people were under strict quarantine after the city enacted sweeping powers to control the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). Meanwhile the World Health Organisation (WHO) urged officials in China's capital to tell the public more about how to fight SARS as the number of cases in the city topped 1,100 and people scrambled to protect themselves.
