Samut Sakhon authorities sealed off seven major factories with over 9,000 COVID-19 infections, prohibiting their 40,000+ workers, mainly migrants, from leaving the compounds until the end of February.
This stringent measure aims to control the virus's spread in high-risk factory environments by containing at-risk groups, while allowing the factories to continue operations.
