Residents of a village in the Pakpoon sub-district, of Thailand’s southern province of Nakhon Si Thammarat, have barricaded their community to restrict entry after 77 workers at a nearby gold leaf factory were found to be infected with COVID-19.

 

Health officials said that not only the villagers in Pakpoon sub-district, but also many residents in the Muang district township are worried about the cluster of infections at the plant because families of about 30 infected workers have been living in the town.

 

Dr. Charaspong Sookkri, the provincial health chief, said today (Saturday) that PCR tests on specimens from 214 workers at the factory on Friday returned 77 positive results, all of whom are in the process of being taken to a field hospital at Walailuck University for treatment.

Here the 100,000 dollar question:
Why do Thai authorities enter factories and force mass-testing on the workers, but they don't enter villages and force mass-testing on the villagers? 
Perfect example here.
My guess all workers where tested.  But with 30 living in the village, why wasn't the entire village tested.

Rhetorical question.
