Khmer Migrant Workers Infected After Illegal Party

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Illegal party infects 10 Khmers, new Thailand outbreak

Ten Cambodian migrant workers who attended an illegal party tested positive for COVID-19, sparking a new outbreak at Samut Prakan in Thailand.

According to the Bangkok Post yesterday, authorities said the initial carrier was a 29-year-old worker from Myanmar, who came in for a test on March 13. After she was found to be infected, the Department of Disease Control (DDC) moved to test migrant workers at camps on Soi Sukhumvit 107 and 117 and found 16 more infected workers – 10 Cambodians, two from Myanmar and four Thais.

In total, 584 people were placed under close supervision after the 17 migrant workers tested positive for COVID-19, DDC director-general, Dr Opas Karnkawinpong, said yesterday.

“Construction sites have multiple risk factors, such as shared facilities and in this case, the workers violated COVID-19 prevention rules by throwing a party,” Dr Opas said.
