In Thailand, it has been identified online game shops as major transmission point for influenza type-A(H1N1) virus among children, who make up the largest group of flu infections. Children are now having a five-day long holiday which just started Saturday. They love to hang out at the online game shops. And many children stay there overnight. Deputy Public Health Minister said he would like to see the online game shops closed during the holidays to limit H1N1 infections. And he continued, if the shop closures is not possible, he will send health authorities to talk to shop owners on how to improve hygiene measures. He called on game shop operators to clean their computers with disinfectant.
