Bangkok to send face masks to flu-hit Mexico



Thailand will send 5,000 face masks and hand washing gels to Mexico which has been hard hit by Mexico human flu, Foreign Ministry's spokesman Tharit Jarungwat said Thursday.

Thai embassy in Mexico will distributed the masks and the gels to Thais living there, he said.

Large number of the masks required because they are disposable, Tharit said, adding earlier Thai Consulate general in Los Angeles had already dispatched the masks the Thai embassy in Mexico as they were urgently needed.

Speaking at the same press conference, deputy spokesman Thanee Thongpakdee said that the Thais in Mexico who wanted to return to Thailand should inform the Thai embassy.

In the worst case scenario, if an evacuation is needed, Thai embassy will use commercial flight to evacuate Thais from the cuntry.

For the time being, Thanee said, the embassy was informed that Thais living there are safe.
