China continues to withhold information on SARS despite Beijing's new order to officials to make full disclosure about the disease, as NewsMax.com reported earlier China Enforces Disease Reporting

"We don't have detailed information from China on about half of the cases - We need this information to stop the spread of SARS," WHO spokeswoman Maria Cheng told Reuters.

The American Foreign Policy Council, which monitors events in China, reports that Chinese villagers connect the disease with urban living and have put up barricades to keep city-dwellers out. Elsewhere in China, villagers have overturned ambulances, ransacked hospitals, dug ditches and summoned exorcists to ward off the SARS virus that might have been brought in by migrant laborers returning from stricken areas.
