The man who is receiving treatment at the BMA General Hospital is a volunteer of the Interior Ministry, not a red-shirt protester, a Bangkok Metropolitan Administration deputy governor said Monday.
Malinee Suvejworakit, a deputy BMA governor, told a press conference that the man is not a protester as earlier announced by the Public Health Minister Jurin Laksanawisit.
She said it has yet to be established as to whether the man got the A(H1N1) flu from his home province of Phetchaburi or from the rally site when he was deployed to help security officials to monitor the situation.
