Bird flu monitoring in Thai provinces suspended
With no new birdflu outbreak reported in the last 21 days, the fourth round of bird flu monitoring imposed in Thailand’s two worst-hit provinces, Phichit and Nakhon Phanom, has been suspended, a senior official said Thursday.
Since there have been no reports of new poultry infected with the deadly virus recently, Charal said, the provinces were removed from the list of the country’s vulnerable areas under special monitoring for H5N1 virus.
Throughout the whole country, Charal said, the spread of bird flu among fowls has not been found for 32 days now.
Since late 2003, Thailand has reported 16 bird flu deaths with only the two latest cases being reported this year, one in Phichit in July and another in Uthai Thani in August.
