A field hospital was been set up by Udon Thani Provincial Health Office and Udon Thani Hospital in a female dorm at Udon Thani Rajabhat University. Three students were in serious condition and were transferred to Udon Thani Hospital for treatment. Head of Udon Thani Provincial Health Office, Dr Smiths Prasannakan, said an investigation found that all of the sick students had attended freshmen welcoming activities, which included eating and drinking together. He also suggested the university stops freshmen welcoming activities and other group activities and closely monitors the patients for 15 days in order to prevent further infection. Udon Thani has had 307 flu patients this year.
