Via Siam Daily News, a source I don't know: Public Health Ministry concerned over possible bird flu and swine flu outbreaks. Excerpt:
Deputy Public Health Minister Manit Nop-amornbodi has expressed his concerns over the second-phase outbreak of the influenza A (H1N1) and the return of avian influenza (H5N1) during this period.
Mr Manit stated that although there was no swine flu fatality according to the latest report of the Ministry of Public Health last Tuesday, the ministry still encouraged people to prevent themselves from being infected by the disease continuously.
People with flu-like symptoms are suggested to stay home until they fully recover. The deputy minister also warned that climate change and a semester break might cause the new virus to spread in the country again.
Regarding a new outbreak of bird flu, Mr Manit said the ministry had assigned provincial public health offices nationwide to monitor the situation closely and provide treatments for patients in time.That's a lot less about "a new outbreak of bird flu" than I'd like to know. I'll look around to see what the major English-language Thai media have to say.
