PHUKET: The residential area of sea gypsies in Soi Koh Kaew 6 on the east cost of Phuket has been placed under lockdown for one week following a spate of infections in the community.

 

“No people are allowed to enter or leave the areas except for those delivering food, cooking gas, medical equipment, or medical staff in emergency vehicles such as ambulances,” said a provincial order issued by Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew last night (Sept 4).

 

The order is in effect from today (Sept 5) through next Monday (Sept 13).

Pretty small area affected, looks to be less than 20 houses. Had a soi near a friend of ours blocked off and quarantined about a month ago with many more than that.
