“Special measures might be taken concerning the delegations from the SARS affected countries, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, Vietnam and Canada, but there are no decisions taken to stop them from coming”, says Gerard VELTEN promising that doctors will be available 24 hours a day during the entire championships.
The organisers will also constantly stay in close contact with the delegations from the SARS affected areas.
The ITTF President Mr. Adham SHARARA is in line with the French organisers:
"The championships in Paris will be held as planned and as scheduled. Of course we will respect any decisions and conditions from the French Government, however, at this moment in time we do not have the intention to make any changes to the Championships".
