Fourteen Thais from Mexico will arrive tonight

The group comprised seven students and seven teachers who visited Mexico under AFS programme are scheduled to arrive at the airport at 11pm by the United Airlines.

"Immediately after they land at the airport, the medical team will take the ambulances to bring them from the aircraft to the special channel inside the airport's arrival terminal gate for medical check up. We want to know  whether they have fever or not," he said.

Those who pass the thermal scanning and physical examination will be allowed to go home but a medical team will monitor their condition for a week.

For those with high body temperature will be put under close surveillance in Bamrasnaradura Institute.

The health ministry will suggest Thais who flight back from Mexico to stay at home at least seven days and the medical team will follow the developing of their symptom as the influenza A (H1N1) virus has the incubation period for three days.
