Hunt for 2 workers from bird-flu farm
Phitsanulok health officials are searching for two farm workers who disappeared from the duck farm where the bird-flu virus was found.
The two men went missing some time after the infection was detected on the farm in Tambon Chumpol of the province's Muang district on Monday, said Kitti Puthikanont, acting head of the Disease Control Division 9 in Phitsanulok.
Neither of them were checked if they had the virus despite having lived and worked inside the farm where the ducks were raised, said Public Health Minister Dr Mongkol na Songkhla.
