A post in the market’s Facebook page, “Onnuch Freshmart”, said one of the vendors usually buys seafood from Samut Sakhon province and had been told to quarantine himself. The stall has been closed since Monday.
Later, this vendor was found to be infected and 10 people who had come in close contact with the patient have also been checked for the virus.
One of them tested positive and was identified as another seafood vendor in the market, the announcement said, adding that both are being treated in hospital.
