As cases of swine flu continued to emerge around the globe, a leading health official warned Cambodians to take everyday precautions against the disease.
Coughs and sneezes should be covered by the hand, and spitting in public should be avoided, said Dr. Sok Touch, director of the Ministry of Health’s communicable disease control department, as a guest Thursday on “Hello VOA.”
“People should wash their hands regularly to avoid the virus,” he said, adding that it was still considered safe to eat pork.
Sok Touch encouraged people to remain calm about the disease, which emerged in Mexico and has spread as far as Canada, Europe, South America and New Zealand.
Cambodia is prepared for an outbreak, he said, because it has put structures in place since dealing with SARS and the bird flu in the past and has close cooperation with the World Health Organization.
Symptoms for swine flu, caused by the H1N1 virus, appear as normal flu, but attack the lungs. Patients can die within seven days of contracting the virus, he said.
The virus appears to spread easily from person to person, but Sok Touch said Thursday the virus could come from directly touching a sick pig.
Cambodians suspicious of an outbreak should call the government’s hotline, at 012 488 981 or 089 669 567.

according to the news in the USA, the terms "swine flue" is so misleading, so official now changed the name to called it "H1N1 flu". please educate everyone to call it correctly.
Who cares how the Northamerican People name it???
This Flu is harmless!
One of the People who died in USA was a fat man with 288kg.
Believe me his fat killed him and not the Flu.
It's a big Paranoia about the Swine Flu.
Ask yourself WHY?
Ask yourself if this was only a test for the next time.
Do you want to understand what is behind it?

For centuries we had wars to kill people but many property became destroyed.
Would be perfect to find a tool which only destroy the people, the RIGHT people.
So you all can relax, this time it was only a test to see how people react and how to take over control.
The biggest danger is if you get a vaccination against any flu.
This could really kill you. That's not my words. That's the words of
Dr. Ron Paul, Congress man and Medical Doctor. 1976 was a bird flu, USA started vaccination and because of the vaccination more than 500 people died in the usa.
They stopped the vaccination after they saw the bad results.
Check out the Info at Google!
You do it for yourself and your Family.
