Jul 9, 2009, 5:54 GMT

Bangkok - Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Thursday acknowledged that the government had failed to stop the spread of swine flu, which claimed its 13th human victim Thursday, and would consider new measures to combat the virus. 'I admit we have not been able to control the spread of this virus,' Abhisit told reporters before a cabinet meeting. The cabinet was scheduled Thursday to consider new means of stemming the spread of the H1N1 strain of the flu, such as closing online computer gaming shops and private tutorial schools. Thailand has recorded 13 H1N1-related deaths and 2,725 infections with 211 new cases reported Thursday. 'The real number is likely to be much higher, between 10,000 to 100,000 cases,' Abhisit said.
