Public Health Ministry stepping up campaigns to prevent dengue spread

BANGKOK, 26 June 2013 (NNT) – The Public Health Ministry is accelerating its measures to prevent expansion of dengue virus as this year’s infections are rising higher than last year.


According to the statistics compiled from January 1st – June 21st, nearly 49,000 people were infected with dengue virus. 59 of them died. The number shows that this year’s dengue situation is worse than that of last year. The ministry has, therefore, been campaigning all over the country to raise awareness among the people, especially children who are most likely to be infected, to be cautious and to avoid mosquito bites.

The ministry is also asking the people to help eliminate mosquito breeding ground by cleaning up all water containers. The ministry has also instructed all related agencies to use mosquito-killer spray in the risk-prone areas.

Dengue situation usually worsens in rainy season as mosquitoes, which are dengue virus carriers, can lay their eggs and breed easily and quickly.

The ministry is also warning those who experience flu, headache, or body ache, to consult a doctor immediately as they could be infected by the deadly dengue virus.

BANGKOK, June 26 – Thailand’s exports dropped 5.25 per cent in May to a total value at US$19.83 billion due to the global economic slowdown, Permanent Secretary for Commerce Vatchari Vimuktayon said today.

Export declines in the industrial sector included electronics, electrical appliances and jewellery was 0.9 per cent, agriculture sector including rice, rubber and tapioca products 16.4 per cent.

She said January-May exports were US$94.2 billion, a 1.86 per cent increase while imports in May were US$22.1 billion, down 2.14 per cent.

Imports in the energy sector increased by 4.1 per cent but the capital products sector shrank by 1.9 per cent in May while imports totalled US$108 billion in value in January-May, a 5.70 per cent increase.

Thailand’s trade deficit was worth US$2.3 billion in May and US$13.8 billion in the first five months of this year, Ms Vatchari said, adding that the appreciating baht was another reason for the export decline in May.

She was optimistic that the country’s export would improve this month thanks to an appropriate exchange rate at Bt30.5/31.5 against the dollar.

The 2013 export target remains unchanged at US$245-246 billion or 7-7.5 per cent. (MCOT online news)
