"We suspect two people, a 26-year-old female postgraduate student and a 31-year-old male postdoc, were both infected, apparently in two separate incidents," Bob Dietz, WHO spokesman in Beijing, told us. China has level three research guidelines and rules in place for handling the SARS virus, which are "of acceptable quality" to WHO, Dietz told us. They are going to go into the labs with Ministry of Health people and find out what happened here," Dietz said. " We've been told we'll have full access, be able to test all the surfaces, interview people who worked there, and look at documentation to find out what was being done," Dietz said.	./cache/cord-015181-875gf11z.txt	./txt/cord-015181-875gf11z.txt
