The SARS patient in east China's Anhui Province, surnamed Song, has been recovering, said Zhang Xuejun, president of Anhui University of Medical Sciences. Song, aged 26, who is now receiving medical treatment at the No. 1 Hospital affiliated to the Anhui University of Medical Sciences, had a normal temperature of 36.7 degrees Celsius on Sunday and saw improvement in other life signs such as breath and blood pressure as well, said Zhang.

The Chinese Ministry of Health announced two SARS cases in Anhui on Friday afternoon. The other SARS patient in Anhui was Song's mother, who died on April 19.
