結核夫妻蘇北山區現蹤 衛署助就醫 (2007/07/27 13:00 Taiwan/China standard time)

搭機飛抵南京後失聯的結核夫妻,終於現蹤。

疾管局上午表示,派到大陸協尋的疾病管制局防疫醫師,

今天凌晨兩點回電表示,
這對李姓夫妻昨天深夜被大陸公安在蘇北偏遠山區裡的一間賓館找到,
目前有關人員正協助他們到當地一家專責醫院先進行初步診治,

至於後續是否返台進行治療會再進一步討論,

疾管局也將就違規部分處以罰鍰並依法追究責任與求償。

Of course, they will be getting shot on the spot :) I mean getting a shot from the doctor.
