The lethal ‘Entero-virus Type 71’ strain has been confirmed in
Cambodia’s Battambang Province – about 70 kilometres from the
Thai-Cambodian border -- where the child has reportedly died. Cambodian
officials say they are still trying to verify the case.
Meanwhile, thousands of Cambodian families are crossing into Thailand
through the Thai border district of Aranyaprathet on fears that their
children will catch the disease.
Thai officials say so far, two Cambodian children aged two and three
years, accompanied by their parents, have been refused entry to Thailand
as both had high fever. -- BERNAMA
