Samut Sakhon province’s Central Prawn Market is ready to reopen on either January 26 or 27 after a major clean-up scheduled on January 25, and the market has instructed all merchants to strictly follow COVID-19 preventive measures when the market reopens.
Deputy governor Theerapat Katchamat said all infected persons from the market in the Samut Sakhon field hospital have now been released after tests showed they are free of the virus.
He said the reopening of the market is important to the province’s economy, as Samut Sakhon hosts one of Thailand’s biggest seafood markets.
