PHUKET: One of the main fresh markets in Phuket Town has been ordered closed by local officials until next Wednesday (June 9) as they trace COVID infections linked to the death of an 86-year-old woman on Tuesday.

 

The woman who died was the second death in the current outbreak of COVID-19, Phuket Provincial Public Health Office (PPHO) Chief Dr Kusak Kukiattikoon said yesterday (June 2).

 

Through contact tracing, health officials had confirmed that the Myanmar woman who worked as a caretaker for the 86-year-old was infected, and then learned that five other Myanmar workers living at the same camp as the caretaker were also infected, he explained.

Hey meat pie, that is a very nice looking market.  My Thai family would be happy to work there.

Their market is a bit older looking but well spaced apart, and it is mostly a vegetable market with only a small

meat area for the common beef and chicken, and fish and shrimp  products.
