The communicable disease control committee of the coastal province of Samut Sakhon put two areas in Muang and Krathum Baen districts under very tight monitoring measure today (Friday), due to high COVID-19 infections there.

 

Known for its largest seafood supplies in Thailand, Samut Sakhon was the epicentre of the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, which started in mid-December last year and saw thousands of tens of thousands of factory workers infected with the disease, resulting in the opening of the country’s first field hospital.

 

The situation in the province has since improved, but lately, after the outbreak of the third wave, on April 1st in Bangkok, more infections have emerged there.
