(ChinaPost.com.tw) – Thailand’s swine flu cases tripled over the last three days to 150, with more expected as laboratory test results continue to arrive, a health official said Sunday.
Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva urged the public not to panic, but warned that “it’s not an easy fix” with tens of thousands of passengers arriving daily at airports from abroad.
“Definitely it will affect tourism, but I still think it’s better to be transparent,” he said on his weekly television program Sunday. “Trying to conceal what’s happening will only makes things worse.”
The number of cases in Thailand jumped from 47 on Friday to 106 on Saturday.
“We have found 150 confirmed H1N1 cases as of today,” Dr. Prat Boonyavongvirot, permanent secretary of the Public Health Ministry, said Sunday.
