Thailand : H1N1 flu scare cancels educators conference

Via The Nation :

" The Amnat Charoen educational zone office yesterday instructed dozens of education officials who were diagnosed with the type-A (H1N1) influenza during a nine-day seminar in an Ubon Ratchathani hotel last week to stay at home and separate from family members to prevent the disease spreading.
The random test's diagnosis of human Swine flu among 60 participants had prompted the seminar to be called off and all 336 participants were asked to leave Ubon Ratchathani.

Amnat Charoen educational zone office deputy director Saman Choungchote said that the participants, most of whom were school directors, were asked to go on leave and be isolated for at least seven days before they could go back to work. The provincial health office also screened all these school directors as well as related schoolteachers and schoolchildren for the flu."
