A Mystery Illness From Asia With No Known Treatment Has Killed Two More People In Canada, Bringing The Total To 64 Dead Worldwide.

Ontario health authorities announced the deaths the same day that Canada's health minister acknowledged that little is known about Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS, but said proper steps have been taken to control its spread.

"We have no intention of shutting down Pearson International Airport," McLellan told journalists after a meeting of Prime Minister Jean Chretien's Cabinet.

"We hope it is confined, but you never really know," Chretien said.
