China has decided to suspend the week-long May Day holiday this year, however, people can enjoy a consecutive vacation from May 1 to 5.

The purpose is to reduce the flow of people across large areas so as to prevent the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), said the General Office of the State Council in a notice.

The week-long Labor Day holiday has run from May 1 to May 7 since 1999.
