The health condition of the only SARS patient in Taiwan during the winter has been improving. Doctors expect that the patient can be released by the end of the year.

Though the virus has disappeared inside the patient's body and the antibody is increasing, he still has to spend his Christmas Eve in hospital. Doctors in Taipei Hospital say he needs a few more days till he fully recovers. With his condition easing, the warning level in the hospital has been lowered, and medical staff can now reduce their protective gear to just face masks. The patient's son and daughter have also been informed that they can come to the hospital to celebrate the holidays with their father.
