Corona outbreak in Thailand: more than a thousand infected people at a seafood market

Serious setback in terms of corona containment in Thailand: Within a few days, over a thousand infected people were registered at the country’s largest seafood market.

Bad news from Bangkok just before Christmas: There was a major corona outbreak at the Mahachai Market, Thailand’s largest seafood market. The market in question is located on the southwestern outskirts of Bangkok. According to official sources, workers from the fishing industry, especially guest workers from Myanmar, are said to be responsible for the corona outbreak.

The authorities have now imposed a strict curfew and lockdown around the market and have carried out extensive corona tests in the region concerned.
