The Ministry of Personnel has put off all the 10 examinations for professionals scheduled to be held in May and June, in order to prevent the spreading of SARS virus.
The ministry has also ordered to cancel all kinds of large- scale job fairs for the same purpose.
Personnel departments at different levels should bring their functions into full play and cooperate with organizations concerned in the anti-SARS campaign, the ministry said in a recent notice.
