Toronto quarantined by Ukraine

My colleague Yuri from the office - who has been making regular appearances in this journal, recently - discovered today that Ukraine has imposed a quarantine on all people arriving from SARS-afflicted regions. He was planning a trip to last four weeks, but now he'd have to spend 10 days of that time in quarantine, so he's rethinking it.
In related news, my mother - who works at Toronto's Mt. Sinai hospital - is back in gloves, gown, mask and goggles to prevent the spread of the disease in the hospital. What a nightmare to have to work under those conditions for the whole day. Lousy disease!
