Public Health Minister Witthaya Kaewparadai admitted on Saturday there was one patient under quarantine suspected of having had H1N1 flu, but the person had already been treated and was fit to return home. The minister indicated there was no possibility of the person spreading the virus after he was released from quarantine.
Mr Witthaya said the lab results on the patient had been sent to the United States in order to have it matched with the H1N1 influenza 2009 virus samples there, as Thailand did not have samples of the virus.
The person under suspicion was among a group of returning Thais entered into quarantine after having visited Mexico. The public health minister said 10 persons remained under quarantine.
The minister’s announcement came after he presided over a meeting of Public Health Ministry officials convened to determine Thailand’s responses to the latest outbreak situation of the virus.
