The Ministry of Public Health, through the Department of Disease Control, is closely monitoring the bird flu situation after the United States found the first case of H5N1 bird flu virus infection caused by contact with domestic poultry. The patient has severe symptoms and is currently being treated in the ICU.
Today (21 December 2014), Dr. Panumas Yanawetsakul, Director-General of the Department of Disease Control, said that the discovery of bird flu patients in the United States this time is a warning sign for Thailand to prepare to deal with possible situations because the H5N1 bird flu virus has changed genetically and can spread to mammals, including humans. สล็อต
