Viewing cable 03HANOI714, WARDEN MESSAGE - action request in paraS 1 and 5

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #03HANOI714.

SUBJECT: WARDEN MESSAGE - action request in paraS 1 and 5 
 
1.  Mission has received and transmitted the travel warning ref 
a.  However, Mission wishes to point out that the comment in the 
third paragraph, ".the Department of State has suspended official 
travel to Vietnam until further notice" is not the Mission's 
understanding of the current situation.  Mission has merely 
deferred non-essential TDY travel.  Some essential TDY travel 
continues, and PCS and other official travel by officials 
assigned to Mission continues as planned. 
 
Action requested:  Mission requests that the Department issue a 
corrected travel warning immediately. 
 
2.  In addition, Mission sent the following update on the SARS 
situation via the warden system on Monday afternoon (March 24th). 
Mission would like to update and re-send the content of this 
message daily. 
 
3.  BEGIN TEXT OF WARDEN MESSAGE SENT. 
 
Further to this morning's message, we will begin a daily update 
of the SARS situation.  The picture is actually a bit improved 
today: 
 
Authorized departure of Embassy family members: 
Although WHO and CDC say the situation is confined and effective 
steps have been taken to isolate those suspected of being 
infected by SARS, in order to assure the peace of mind and safety 
of mission families, especially those with children, the 
Ambassador has requested, and the State Department has approved, 
voluntary departure for dependents of Embassy and Consulate 
staff.  (We do not yet have an indication of how many family 
members, if any, intend to leave.) 
The following statistics were taken from the World Health 
Organization's (WHO) website.  This site is updated regularly and 
can be found at www.who.int/csr.  Additional information can also 
be found on the US Centers for Disease Control website at 
www.cdc.gov. 
 
SITUATION AS OF MARCH 22, 2003 
Worldwide, all SARS cases are being classified based on whether 
that case meets certain criteria based on serious symptoms 
described on the WHO and CDC websites.  Although these symptoms 
are strong criteria in an area with SARS, they may also pick up 
some cases that are caused by other diseases unrelated to SARS. 
While some laboratory data suggest possible viruses as being 
responsible, it will still take some time to develop a test that 
can positively detect SARS. 
 
Worldwide: 
Number of cases worldwide:  386 
Number of deaths worldwide:  11 
Suspected and/or probable cases are found in the following 
countries:  Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong Special 
Administrative Region of China, Italy, Ireland, Singapore, 
Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, 
United States, and Vietnam. 
The WHO's website indicates 22 suspected cases in the United 
States on March 22nd, CDC's website indicates 37. 
 
Vietnam: 
(These figures do not include the "index patient" who came in 
from Hong Kong, was later medically evacuated back to Hong Kong, 
and sadly, died in Hong Kong.) 
Number of cases in Vietnam: 63 
Number of deaths in Vietnam: 2 
 
Unofficial Reports: 
 
Unofficial reports indicate that there were two new "probable" 
cases admitted to Bach Mai hospital this weekend - both 
epidemiologically linked to health care workers at the Hanoi 
French Hospital. 
 
Unofficial reports further indicate: 
-One patient who was on a mechanical respirator was extubated, 
leaving 2 patients on ventilators and 4 patients in critical 
condition. 
-Most other patients remain stable and many are improving. 
-Worldwide the rate of fatality among SARS cases is 3%. 
-Two patients have recovered and been determined to be no longer 
infectious to others and released to go home. 
-The condition of the boy medically evacuated from Ho Chi Minh 
City to Taipei continues to improve. 
-The incubation period for SARS has passed and the boy's 65 
schoolmates who were on the same school trip have all been 
determined not to have contracted SARS. 
-There were two other possible SARS cases in Ho Chi Minh City, 
but both have been ruled out. 
 
We hope this information is helpful.  Please look for further 
updates each morning. 
 
4.  End text of warden message sent. 
 
5.  Given the time difference and the necessity to awaken OCS 
duty officer to obtain clearance for warden messages, Mission 
requests blanket clearance to update the content of the above 
message and send the updated information each morning. 
 
6.  Mission also requests clearance to add the following 
correction to tomorrow morning's warden message: 
"Further to our warden message issued on the morning of March 
24th, the following correction is necessary.  All official travel 
to Vietnam is not suspended.  Some officials coming for non- 
essential purposes have been asked to defer their travel. 
Officials assigned to Vietnam and some official visitors continue 
to travel to and from Vietnam.  The department of state remains 
concerned about the unavailability of adequate healthcare in 
Vietnam and continues to recommend that non-essential travel or 
stays in Vietnam be deferred. 
 
7.  WHO and CDC, as well as the GVN, indicate that the outbreak 
is confined in Vietnam and effective steps have been taken to 
isolate those suspected of being infected by SARS. Barring any 
new introduction of SARS to Vietnam, it does seem that the 
situation is contained.
