University student becomes Thailand’s 48th A(H1N1) case
By k on June 13, 2009
BANGKOK, June 12 (TNA) – The diagnosis of a university student, confirmed as Thailand’s 48th (A)H1N1 patient, prompted his faculty to announce seven-day closure beginning Friday.
The student was diagnosed as having the H1N1 virus after he returned home from the United States.
Many Thai students returned home from affected countries after taking short summer courses.
Mahidol University’s Faculty of Public Health has closed to prevent possible new infections.
The Secretary General of Thailand’s Commission on Higher Education called an urgent meeting to deal with preventing the spread of the disease among university students.
Meanwhile, at a disease control checkpoint in Sakaeo province, a New Zealand tour guide was put under quarantine along with other nine people, who had close contact with him after he was detected with high fever. He is the first suspected H1N1 case in this eastern province, bordering Cambodia. (TNA)
