As Cambodians increasingly worry about A/H1N1, which has far as killed three Cambodians, the Ministry of Health (MoH) has tried control the spread of infections.
But people on the street were still worried.
One Cambodian pork vendor at Kandal market was surprised to hear of fatalities. “I do not care about this but I heard three Cambodians died of A/H1N1 so I am very afraid.”
She added that she now wears a face mask to prevent infection.
The MoH’s Department the Anti-epidemiology’s Sok Touch told DAP News Cambodia that he already advised Cambodians on how to prevent the disease.
The MoH has said that cases might occur, though last week the MoH invited all foreign clinics to declare symptoms of A/H1N1. The upcoming Water Festival in the first week of November is a major opportunity for the disease to spread, she said, advising all Cambodians to wear face masks
Until now, there are 123 cases for Cambodia of the A/H1N1, which included at least three Cambodian people were died, according to MoH´s website.
The A/H1N1, has occurred since June 24, 2009 in Cambodia, the first of which was an American student. Over 343,000 people have been infected and at least about 4,100 people died from A/H1N1, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Minister for the Health Mom Bunheng said that all travelers or suspected infected should avoid the case to the others, and clean hands with shampoo and use a handkerchief.
Norng Narin, Ratanakiri district governor, told DAP News Cambodia that over 700-800 families were worried about their feed and nutrition, but also pay attention to the A/H1N1 infections during the Ketsona storm.
