Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said on Wednesday it is not yet necessary to seal the country to control the spread of H1N1 flu as advised by Chulalongkorn Hospital doctors.
He said, however, that the matter will be raised at the cabinet meeting on July 9 to mete out more preventive measures such as closures of tuition schools and internet shops from which the flu was said to have spread.
The Public Health Ministry on Wednesday reported 290 addition cases of H1N1 flu, bringing up the total to 2,718 with 11 deaths.
Mr Abhisit said the government will try to keep close watch on those infected to prevent more deaths. An adhoc committee has been set up to specially take care of four flu patients who are seriously sick, he added.
