BANGKOK: Thailand will test more than 10,000 people for coronavirus after an outbreak linked to its biggest seafood market, officials said on Sunday.

Hundreds of infections have been linked to Mahachai market and port since a 67-year-old female prawn seller tested positive on Thursday — most cases among migrant workers from neighboring Myanmar, who toil in the kingdom's multi-billion-dollar seafood industry.
