The "seal" method will apply to factories which have on-site accommodation -- workers will not be allowed to leave the premises. The "bubble" strategy will apply to factories which have no on-site accommodation, so their workers stay at dormitories off the premises. So far, testing has been conducted on 140,000 workers at 845 factories in Samut Sakhon.
