The Expert Group on SARS is to consider proposals from the Special Olympics Committee and the Chinese government on teams attending the event from countries most seriously affected by the disease.
The group said in a statement, after it met today, that it would consider the proposals in consultation with the World Health Organisation "over the next number of days."
The Group also noted that Canada was once again on the WHO list of affected areas and confirmed its decision to ask athletes from countries on the list not to travel to the Games next month.
