China's Director General of Emergency Teng Zijian, left, Health Minister spokesman Mao Qun'an, center, and World Health Organization China representative Hans Troedsson attend a press conference in Beijing Wednesday, May 7, 2008. China has made it mandatory for health care providers to report all cases of a viral illness that has sickened thousands of young children. Mao said the outbreak would not have an impact on the Beijing Olympics in August. Both Mao and Troedsson said they expected more cases to emerge because of the tighter reporting requirements and because the disease should peak with warmer weather in June and July.
