Despite of the rising number of the A(H1N1) virus patients, Manit pleaded the public not to panic.

The rising number of A(H1N1) flu cases was not unusual since other countries also encountered the same problem, said Doctor Prat Boonyavongvirot, permanent secretary of the Health Ministry.

Meanwhile, Doctor Prat said the new virus could pose higher risk to children under five years old, pregnant women, elders with an age of over 65 years old, and people with low immunity, or those with chronic diseases such as lung, heart and kidney diseases.

The Public Health Ministry is now holding a meeting with around 400 nationwide doctors in capital Bangkok to discuss about preventive measures to fight the expanding A(H1N1) flu outbreak.
