It is possible Thailand's A/H1N1 virus outbreak will peak in July and it is essential for all involved parties and the Thai people to be well prepared to curb the outbreak, Public Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai said here on Monday.
And, if the new deadly virus outbreak will really enlarge in the near future, the Thai people should not panic since A/H1N1-virus-infected patients can be cured, Witthaya said, the Thai NewsAgency reported.
Whether or not there will be deaths due to the deadly virus infection, the Minister said it is unpredictable.
However, any person, who is physically weak and contacts with the A/H1N1 flu virus, might be killed by the disease, said Witthaya.
In a related development, Education Minister Jurin Laksanavisit said he has already ordered classes' suspension in eight education institutions in Bangkok and a nearby province of Pathoomthani.
Education administrations nationwide are permitted to suspend classes if students are found of having been infected with the A/H1N1 virus, Jurin said.
