Myanmar nationals from abroad are being welcomed at various border crossings this month.

 

On 19 January, a total of 176 returnees — 90 males and 86 females — came back home through Muse, northern Shan State and 10 returnees — six males and four females — through Chinshwehaw, respectively. One male also came back home through Laukkai and 179 returnees – 124 males and 55 females – through Tachilek.

 

Healthcare officials from relevant public hospitals and members of the Tatmadaw Medical Corps conducted COVID-19 tests and provided quarantine entry documents for the returnees.

 

Next, instructions of the Ministry of Health were explained systematically and departmental officials provided necessary assistance.

 

The township administration then escorted them to their respective places in passenger vehicles, and the infected people were kept in separate places to facilitate the necessary medical and administrative matters, officials said. — MNA
