Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has assigned the Department of Disease Control to monitor India's tomato flu outbreak despite the lack of cases in Thailand, says deputy government spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul.
She said yesterday that even though there has been no report of a local outbreak, it is necessary to monitor the disease because Thailand has reopened for tourism and must prepare for screenings and treatments.
Initial reports have indicated that tomato flu patients only show mild symptoms and the disease has not spread widely.
