The move is hoped to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to the island by crews on board visiting fishing boats, as a vast majority of the crewmen aboard Thai fishing vessels are migrant workers, many of them from Myanmar.

 

Governor Narong explained in the order that the outbreak of COVID-19 in Samut Sakhon and other provinces posed a threat to health of people on the island, hence the need to regulate which fishing boats were allowed to continue to port in Phuket.

 

The order also stipulated:
