The Hong Kong Trade Development Council has been working closely with the Department of Health to ensure adequate health precautions are taken at this week's trade fair at the convention and exhibition centre.

The council's deputy executive director, Frederick Lam, says the measures in place go beyond the guidelines provided by the World Health Organisation on the prevention of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars).

Cleaning measures have been stepped up, and wipes and hand cleaners will be given to exhib itors.
