SAR爆发殃及在比利时留学的中国学生

比利时消息，我是一名在比利时留学的中国学生，从本月22起比利时部分大学和语言学校禁止所有中国学生入内，仅仅因为我们可能患有ars。此项决定业已通过比利时公共健康部的批准，可是我们大部分人已经在这边两年多了，而且由于种种原因从未回国探亲，可以说我们是安全的。但是比利时政府还是做出了这样令人感到不公平的决定！另外，什么时候可以复课还是未知数。

以下是来自比利时某大学的关于禁止中国学生入内的正式文件

Dear Student

As you will probably have heard, the SARS virus has become a serious threat to the global public health, since it is spreading rapidly throughout the world. Especially East-Asia, including China, is a high-risk area.

Since some of our students recently went to China or got in touch with people coming from that region, we are obliged to suspend all classes and seminars for Chinese students till 4 May, starting from today.

Moreover, to avoid taking any risks, access to the entire school building will be denied to Chinese students until the abovementioned date.

This decision has been taken after consultation with the Belgian Ministry of Public Health.

Depending on further developments concerning SARS, this period can be prolonged or additional measures can be taken.

Any changes in the timetables and examination schedules will be communicated by post or by e-mail.

We dare hope that you will understand the absolute necessity of the measures taken.

Kind regards
Apr. 22 . 2003
