The ministry's deputy permanent secretary, Dr Paijit Warachit said the new fatalities were four men and four women. Half of them were people aged between 31 year-old to 40-year-old and categorized as a risk group for the flu fatality.

However, the ministry did not detail the total of infected cases from influenza A (H1N1), saying the estimated number of infection will be released next week by the ministry's academic team.
