Thailand’s second wave of Covid-19 is now here. The latest Coronavirus infection is linked to Samut Sakhon, where over 800 people have tested positive for the disease. The outbreak has now reached 22 other provinces in Thailand. Never before has Thailand seen a massive burst of people infected all at once.

The outbreak's epicenter is at the Mahachai Seafood Market. The market’s labor forces are workers from Myanmar and Laos. Because the seafood delivers to restaurants and outlets all over Thailand, it’s hard for authorities to determine far reaching the virus has already spread.

Samut Sakhon is currently under lockdown and curfew. Entry into the district is on an emergency base only. Beyond Samut Sakhon, Bangkok leads with the second most infection, followed by Nakhon Pathom. Here are the provinces with reported case of the coronavirus:
