Medical tests have shown that a Shenzhen man who had been rumored by overseas media as a SARS suspect is actually suffering from regular pneumonia, said the head of the Health Bureau of Shenzhen City Zhou Junan at a specially arranged news briefing late on Monday.

Zhou said Shenzhen City has strictly followed the requirements for reporting set by the World Health Organization, or WHO. He added that there have been no confirmed or suspected SARS cases in Shenzhen since this winter. Tests on the patient's blood, mucus and stool have proven negative for the corona virus.

So far two suspected SARS cases have been reported in Guangdong province. And the only confirmed one has already been discharged from hospital after recovery.
