BANGKOK, Feb 13 -- Although the overall situation of the Ebola disease has improved in West Africa, the Public Health Ministry and other concerned agencies are still on alert with preventive measures still in place in Thailand, said Deputy Prime Minister Yongyuth Yuthavong.

Mr Yongyuth told journalists that the National Directing Committee for Ensuring Promptness in the Prevention and Solution of Emerging Diseases on Thursday held a meeting and agreed that several countries including Thailand in several past months had closely monitored and imposed strict preventive measures from an outbreak of Ebola virus in their countries.

Not onee Ebola victim was identfied in Thailand so far, he said.

According to Mr Yongyut, 9,177 Ebola victims died in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia in West Africa while 22,894 persons had contracted the disease.

The situation has improved last week in those countries but Thailand's committee decided that preventive measures for Ebola as well as other deadly diseases including bird flu, a new strain of influenza and the Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus should continue due to the their severity, Mr Yongyut said.

Meanwhile, Public Health Minister Dr Rajata Rajatanavin said that concerned health officials still must monitor diseases which could be transmitted from animals to humans. (MCOT online news)

The crux of the matter is, that our poor, homeless, and underprivileged people living conditions are not much better than the poor in Africa, living in tightly packed conditions and deprived of the essentials, should there be an outbreak it would spread like wildfire.

Oh dear...another one who thinks that there is an African village in every country.

Which particular province are you generalising about?

Any clue to the Amphur?

Tambon?

Village - even a little clue would help?

Come on bud...give us something to work with...these "living in tightly packed conditions and deprived of the essentials" are quite hard to find in Thailand.

Oh yes,there are many households in most towns where several people share a bedroom. Just wander around the back streets. Many people have to share the rent.

The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) will take credit for the achievement by saying it did not promote tourism to Thailand in the Ebola affected countries and probably also say they offset the tourism loss by increasing promotions in non-Ebola affected countries.
