Public told not to panic over flu fatality in Uthai Thani

 

 

The Diseases Control Department  has urged the public not to panic over the report of a fatality from influenza in Uthai Thani province, noting that there have been almost 90,000 flu cases this year with only one fatality.

 

DCD director-general Dr Suwanchai Wattanayingcharoenchai said today that a team of health investigators had been sent from diseases control and protection office in Nakhon Sawan to Uthai Thani province where one woman was reported to have died from H1N1 flu.

 

Trying to allay fear among the public, he said there was no need to panic because flu is a seasonal disease and is rife during rainy and cold seasons.

Its not surprising that so many people get the flu when they all eat from the same plate using the same utensils and drink from the same glass .
