The SARS has caused much concern to Mongolians.  Before deplaning, medical officials interviewed every passenger arriving in the country. This particular flight originated in Moscow, where no cases of the disease were identified at the time.  Forms were filled and each passenger was required to sign.  The government had quarantined a group of newly arrived Mongolians who had been visiting China.  SARS was not a problem in Mongolia and the inspections ended sometime during the Summer.  No one should be concerned at all about visiting Mongolia (Pictures taken in Spring 2003).
