Public Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai has announced plans to close tutorial schools and Internet cafes nationwide in a bid to prevent the spread of the A(H1N1) virus that causes swine flu.

Schools and internet cafes will be asked to spend the two weeks thoroughly cleaning their computers to prevent them from becoming sources of infection.

The venues, which are usually crowded with young people, must close on Monday July 13 and remain closed until July 28.

Mr Witthaya and senior ministry officials at the Government House met with Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva to discuss the pandemic.

Deputy Public Health Minister Manit Nopamornbodi announced 290 more new cases of type-A (H1N1) influenza on Tuesday, bringing the official total of cases in Thailand past the 2,700 mark.

The vast majority have already been cured, but around 110 patients were still in hospital as of Tuesday.

There have also been 14 confirmed deaths from the disease, including the one case in Phuket.

For local reaction to the closure order, read the hard copy edition of the Gazette that hits newsstands on Saturday.                                                                                                                                                         

Är väl bara luftburet för bövelen sprids väl inte via internet.

Hehe.dom ska cleaning their computers! 

Ganska lång tid.i 2 veckor! 

Jo då, sprids via Internet, jag fick virus i min förra dator.

Ja nog finns det virus på internetcaféer men inte influenza  .Det är mer typ datorvirus som härjar där så jag ska ta med en bärbar dator nästa resa.

Nog sprids denna influensa via internet kaféer också, inget skämt.

Tänk på tangentborden på kaféerna som jordnötter på krogen.

Tangentbord är iofs knapriga men inget vidare som snacks

Hur skall flickorna få sina pengar nu? Det kommer att bli mycket mobilsnack tror jag.

Så dumt, vet dom inte att kondomer skyddar mot virus.

Exactemente, ett steg i rätt riktning för att bekämpa smittspridningen, näste steg blir att ta bort alla dörrhandtag.

Dr Arne

synd att dom ska hållas stängda

På Phuket verkar dom inte bry sig om någon stängning.

PHUKET CITY: The government-ordered closure of internet shops and tutorial schools nationwide to stop the spread of swine flu is not being enforced in Phuket, public health officials admit.

Most of the 480 registered internet shops on the island simply ignored the order, which they view as unfair and illegal.

Cabinet last Thursday approved a proposal by the Ministry of Public Health to close all internet shops and tutorial schools nationwide from July 13 to 26 to halt the spread of the A(H1N1) virus that causes swine flu.

However, whether the education or health ministries have the legal authority to enforce such a measure has been called into question.

Phuket Public Health Office (PPHO) director Dr Pongsawas Ratanasang yesterday admitted his office was not trying to enforce the order.

The swine flu outbreak in Phuket is not as bad as it is in Bangkok, so the PPHO is asking internet shop operators to take extra precautions, such as cleaning keyboards and computer mice after each customer, he said.

Most internet cafes and tutorial schools have taken the necessary precautions to prevent the virus from spreading, Dr Pongsawas said.

As of yesterday, the number of reported cases of A(H1N1) infection in Phuket stood at 111, he said.

About half of the cases, including the only fatality, involved students.

On Thursday evening, a team of provincial officials set off on an inspection tour of karaoke bars, movie cinemas and internet cafes in a bid to warn business operators of the need to keep up the fight against swine flu.

Leading the tour was Phuket Vice-Governor Tri Augkaradacha, Phuket Culture Office chief Tawichart Inntarit, and officers from the PPHO.

Setting off about 5pm, the team visited internet cafes, then went on to the Coliseum Paradise cinema.

“Phuket has 480 registered internet shops. Most have given good co-operation by providing customers with hand wash gel and surgical masks, and putting up signs informing sick people that they cannot enter. They have to clean the mouse and keyboard after each customer. Some internet cafes are cramped, so we are asking operators to improve ventilation,” V/Gov Tri said.

Meanwhile, the outbreak of the viral disease chikungunya appears to have peaked.

Dr Pongsawas says there has been a total of about 2,500 chikungunya cases reported in Phuket so far, but reports of new cases are now typically at about four or five a day – much lower than the 50 or 60 cases daily when the disease was at its peak, he said.
